How about Philippines against Italy? It is a one sided game with no chance for the Philippines to win. It is a devastating loss and even God's cannot help them out of this lump.

I am watching that game right now. You need to install the Fancode app on your smartphone. But the issue is that you can watch the game only on mobile, and not in TV or laptop. It is very exciting now, and China is leading 51-41, with one quarter remaining. Chances are that China will pull off this one. The other game is also available, and it is quite exciting as well (Spain vs Tunisia, now 42-39 at half-time).

Spain have a 13-1 run early in the 3rd frame and looks not good on my bet.

Guys do you have a live stream link for Cote d'Ivoire vs China?

I followed your suggestion, installed the app, saw they featured a live game I like to watch, but I can't play it in my device.
They must have some country restriction or something, I don't know, seems like it's impossible for me to watch the game live now, my best chance is a youtube live streaming video but I could not find one.

Sorry for that.... in that case I guess the mobile streaming works only in India. If you are living in the EU or US, I don't think that you will be able to watch the live streaming in YouTube. They are immediately deleting any live streams as soon as they are put up (due to copyright issues). Paid subscription is available from ESPN+, but it costs $4.99 per month. Another option is to watch in Atdhe, but there are so many versions and I don't know which one is safe. I tried a few of them, and 2-3 worked, but only for some time.

Spain is now mopping the floor with Tunisia after a shaky start. They are leading by 72-47 now. And with less than one minute of play remaining, China is leading 60-48 against CDI. Very low-scoring match in which both the teams looked overly defensive. In the last match today, Argentina is currently leading against South Korea by 22 points.

How about Philippines against Italy? It is a one sided game with no chance for the Philippines to win. It is a devastating loss and even God's cannot help them out of this lump.

Italy was to strong for them they've been outscored both outside and inside stats, shooting percentage and good ball movements killed them, seems that the preparation of this team ain't enough to handle the opponent ways of attacking the basket, and to adds up the low percentage of the players shooting abilities, it's an easy win for Italy they didn't stop attacking up to the last seconds, they keep the momentum and did not allow any chances of getting some rally to make the game close.

Today is a losing day for my FIBA betting. I lost to Italy with a +19.5 bet for the Philippines. Although I won the second bet with a -12.5 handicap for China against Ivory Coast, I lost the third game betting on a -33.5 handicap for Australia against Korea. I hope tomorrow is a better gambling day for us all. 

[efialtis]

Italy is okay but they won’t play a major role when it comes to medals...

Guys, if you're struggling to find live streams, or TV in your country don't broadcast world cup, I suggest to subscribe Livebasketball.tv:
http://www.livebasketball.tv/
It's not free, but just for $4.99 month you will get ALL World Cup games in HD quality and English commentary. I think it's great offer.
Wow, Spain won 3rd quarter 30-8 and won game by 39 points.
Tomorrow there will be more interesting games than today. Canada - Australia, it can be crucial match in fight for next round, Germany - France always sounds nice. We also will see USA in official match against Czech Republic.

[morvillz7z]

China covered their -12.5 spread but my early bet for -5.5 (halftime) hit the upright if i can use this term. Damn you China. 

My biggest takeaway from Day 1 is how well and clutch the Russian team is. I couldn't watch any of their friendlies but i have to admit that i'm pleasantly surprised. Now Nigeria has to beat Argentina to make it the second round, can't really see that happening.

The Philippines have no answer to the Italians play and that drags them to their loss. What about their next opponent?do they have a chance of winning against Serbia?

I have noticed we dont have a thread regarding the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup and thought we should change that!

This is going to be the 18. basketball world cup with 32 participants. It is going to take place in China from 31/8/2019 till 15/9/2019 and we will have a total of 96 matches to enjoy.

Personally I cant wait for it to start. Firstly because I have high hopes in my country Greece this time (yeah, Giannis along with his two brothers will start)! Secondly because I love basketball in general and this time many nations seem to take part with many of their NBA star players. Last but not least: There will be some great opportunities bettingwise!

GROUP A

Cote d'Ivoire
Poland
Venezuela
China

GROUP B
Russia
Argentina
Korea
Nigeria

GROUP C
Spain
Iran
Puerto Rico
Tunisia

GROUP D
Angola
Philippines
Italy
Serbia

GROUP E
Turkey
Czech Republic
USA
Japan

GROUP F
Greece
New Zealand
Brazil
Montenegro

GROUP G
Dominican Republic
France
Germany
Jordan

GROUP H
Canada
Senegal
Lithuania
Australia

Even though I think Greece shall play a good role this time, I dont think they will win the trophy... Do you believe anyone could upset the USA this time?  

USA is very dominant in this field of sports, many famous and star players who play for USA. I think USA will still be a favorite to lift the trophy. I look forward to other countries being able to compete closely with USA will be an interesting match.

Does anyone have a proper link to watch all the games? I have been looking for one but couldn't find any, the ones that I could find anywhere have been all horrible and were like either horrible quality 240p or non-English announcers and all that which made it not viable for me.

I just want some high res English speaking ones if possible. I was able to find one for Serbia and Angola match (reminded me of Charles Barkleys unforgettable quote) but aside from that all other games I was incapable of finding a decent link. Games have started amazingly already and I don't want to miss any. I had a thing to do tomorrow but I literally cancelled it and gonna go buy some stuff to eat like chips and so forth to stay at home and watch all games In order to do that I need a website that shows all games.

I think the USA E group will advance to the next phase easily because the only fight is Japan, Turkey and the Czech Republic. who can approach the USA game maybe only Japan in this group. I still champion USA to lift this prestigious trophy.

That +17.5 for the Philippines might be tempting but you should remember that it's not the first time that the Philippines and Italy will be facing each other in the court. The last time the face head to head was in 2016 and the scoreline was outrageous to see for any Filipino fan. The game ended up 106 to 70 points which is about a 36 point margin in favor of Italy.

~snip~

And like what I said 3 days prior to the match the +17.5 for the Philippines wouldn't make a dent on the lead on what Italy had over them. Winning 108 to 62 points surely is a depressing thing to see to the National team you are supporting on especially when there President is watching the match. The tune up game they had way back 2016 is like our tip already that Italy will be out scoring them by this much and you should also take into consideration that the roster the Philippines have is not the best team available to represent as. Sending three local rookies in the PBA into the World Cup is like bringing a knife into a gun fight. Now there only chance to still continue into the World Cup is defeating both Serbia and Angola which seems to be an impossible task by now.

The Philippines have no answer to the Italians play and that drags them to their loss. What about their next opponent?do they have a chance of winning against Serbia?

Serbia is rank 4 while Italy is rank 13.

Italy won against Philippines.

So expect that the next game of Serbia and Philippines would end up with an expected result.

[bisdak40]

Another 8 matches for today and most of them are one-sided. What are your betting strategies guys? Do you bet on the total score or what?

1. Canada vs Australia
2. New Zealand vs Brazil
3. Turkey vs Japan
4. Dominican Republic vs Jordan
5. Senegal vs Lithuania
6. Greece vs Montenegro
7. Czech Republic vs USA
8. France vs Germany

Only Germany had a chance to win against a favorite on the bookies imo.

[boyptc]

How about Philippines against Italy? It is a one sided game with no chance for the Philippines to win. It is a devastating loss and even God's cannot help them out of this lump.

I wonder why Philippines in every game they don't have that stamina to bet foreign players. Is that because of races or because of being overtaken with bad expectations? In order for them to win, having proper training is a must.

Not just training but understand the differences of other top rank teams.

Once they have figured it out and analyzed what they lack to have toe to toe matches with those teams.

That should be included on what they have to improve.

The thing is the Philippines need better players. We terribly lack them. Our roster is really no match to the rosters of Italy, for example, and other higher ranked teams in FIBA. Our players cannot play toe to toe with other teams even if they have underwent the best of training.

Race is undeniably one very significant factor. We are generally smaller people. And considering that only a single naturalized player is allowed per game, every game is going to be a tough uphill battle.

Yesterday all of my predictions were correct, including the two very very close matches (Iran vs Puerto Rico and Russia vs Nigeria). And here comes my predictions for today's matches:

Canada vs Australia: Australia
NZ vs Brazil: Brazil
Turkey vs Japan: Turkey
Dominican Rep vs Jordan: DR
Senegal vs Lithuania: Lithuania
Greece vs Montenegro: Greece
France vs Germany: Germany
CzR vs USA: USA

The United States and France will be in action for the first time today. Greece will be taking on Montenegro at 12:00pm GMT and half an hour later the United States will take on Czech Republic. The most one sided match is going to be LIT vs SEN, while the most closely fought one may be either France vs Germany or Canada vs Australia.

[Bttzed03]

France vs. Germany is the most interesting match up for me today. Hopefully, we get to see another Iran-Puerto Rico like match here.

For those looking for free livestream, Facebook is one platform where you can get it. There will always be someone who will be streaming, just don't expect to see high quality videos though.
