FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019

What is going on in Spain vs Iran game? I cannot believe it.
Iran is ahead 53-52 after 3 quarters. Is Iran going to surprise us?
Iran was also ahead in the match against Puerto Rico by 14 points before start of 4th quarter. But they finally lost that game. This time they will try their best to win the match over Spain.

Edit: Spain 57 - 59 Iran , 7 minutes left
Edit: Spain 57 - 62 Iran , 6 minutes left

Iran lost again.

ITA vs SRB I am going with over 160.5 pts - gl to everyone betting

That's a good bet. We know it would go that far but if both team will play defense then maybe 160.5 is too much. Good luck to you too.

The over bet was won easily. I am once again impressed from the Serbian team and Jokic is not human!

Who is watching USA vs Turkey right now?

The game is intense and close. Turkey is doing it surprisingly and they aren't really far from the scores with USA. I haven't followed the track of Turkey but these guys are good, I'm impressed.

Unreal scenes from the United States vs Turkey match. No one expected it to be so close. The match went in to overtime, and somehow US won the match by a whisker. But I would say one thing after watching the match... I would no longer rate US as the favorites to win the tournament. IMO, this world cup would be won by Serbia.

I didn't expect it to be like that but still props to Turkey.

You can have that thought about the USA but we'll still see how they'll go when the group matches have finally ended.

With that close game between turkey, there's  a lots of different opinions if how team US will be able to survive this tournament and keep being still on the top, tough competitions with different national teams as all of them are really aiming to win the trophy.

Expectations for each teams  will be concluded after the league.

WHAT A GAME! I didn't remember to come here and write yesterday, Turkey and USA had one hell of a game.

I didn't expected Turkey to be so good, I mean they literally pushed USA to overtime and missed by just free throws at the end there, if they scored those it would have been 5 point difference with 8 seconds left and there is no way USA is coming back from that. This creates all kinds of confusion with the next stage though, like if Turkey beats Czechia and Greece has lost to Brazil for some reason, that means Turkey could just beat Brazil and than move to further stage as well?

I didn't expected that at all. Serbia played so well against Italy that they showed why they were one of the favorites here with USA, I mean Turkey barely beat Italy (in a friendly) and Serbia destroyed them whereas USA barely beat Turkey which looks like Serbia could be better than USA but we all know basketball doesn't work like that.

Tomorrow the United States is going to play against Japan. Now this is going to be very interesting, because we all saw how they struggled against a weak Turkey. I am not expecting an upset by Japan, but another lack-lustre performance by the Americans may add more pressure to the team. And remember that they may need to play against Greece in the second round.

But they have won against Turkey.

Japan has zero wins and for them to move to the next round, they have to win consecutively. So this match has already been decided whether USA lose or win.

Serbia is definitely my favorite for winning the title.
They are they most consistent team in the tournament and they are on fire both in attack and defense.

Turkey really surprised me. But it doesn't mean that I though Turkey is weak team. Turkey has been always a powerful team. They finished 2010 FIBA world cup as the runners-up.
I didn't expect Turkey to play that well. Because I expeted United States to be a better team.
We cannot compare Turkey and Japan with each other. Turkey won the match against Turkey by 19 points. I think United States will win Japan easily.

Poland 80 - 63 Ivory Coast.
My prediction was correct. Before the tournament I didn't expect Poland to be such a great team. Poland really surprised me. I expected Venezuela and China advance to the second round and their 3rd games against each other determines Winner and runner-up of the group A. But the upcoming match will determine the runner up and one of eliminated teams of Group A.
It's really difficult to predict this match. These two teams results in the past two matches have been very similar too each other. I am sure the match with very close. I guess the chance of China is a bit higher as they are playing in their home. I bet on China. China is the only remaining team of Asia.

Basketball prediction is sort of hard but you lucky to have predicted the Poland vs Ivory Coast game right. However, just because China was the host nation does mean they the Venezuela which was ranked higher than the Chinese and now the Chinese are unable to make it to the next round while Poland and Venezuela advance to the next stage of the tournament.

Tomorrow will be a big day with some very decisive matches.

My country Greece is facing New Zealand and the winner will advance to the next round while the looser will have to say good bye China! I am optimistic that we will make it, hoping we have learned from our mistakes against Brazil. My bet is Greece -13.5 pts.

The Japan game will be an easy win for the United States since they are not performing well in this year competition and Turkey is not a weak nation in terms of the basketball game because they actually have some set of players which are in the national team but played for the big club in the US.

I also see the Greece team progressing to the next round of this year tournament because the team is in good form and their performances in the year FIBA cup is not bad either which was the same thing that makes them up ranking on the world FIBA rank listing.

Efialtis, I didn't say that because you're from there but thats was actually my prediction about tomorrow game and the Greece team yesterday game was just a lesson for them to re-strategist themselves. Mind you, we cant use the previous state of things to calculate its glorious future.
Rodel caling, New Zealand will sure pay dearly for Greece yesterday game.

They aren't still out, they only loss once and they can still come back, it's just that this team has been hype because they have an NBA MVP but as a team, they are not really as good as the Serbians who beat Italy yesterday. BTW, just want to let you know that I'm not rooting for this team, being an MVP is just a name if he can't prove it in this big stage again.

One interesting thing - after group stage in next round we won't see any teams from Africa and Asia. Even China, who had weakest possible group, support home crowd and obvious help of referees end their journey after group stage.
On Thursday we will see few do or die games - Greece - New Zealand and Turkey - Czech Republic. Turkey and Greece are obvious favorites, but their opponents is very dangerous.
And matches for 1 st place in the group - Canada - Lithuania. According to bookmakers, we're favorites, but IMO it's 50/50 game. And France - Dominican Republic. With all respect to Dominican Rep., it should be easy for France.

After the extreme fight of yesterday games especially the Philippine Vs Angola, what a really close game.

Here's today's schedule.

Timezone is GMT +8.

It seems to be that the USA vs Japan match is the easiest to predict, for sure the USA will dominate Japan and notably only Japan is playing today from Asian country. Further, after the loss of Greece, I'm thinking of betting against them in every game because I think the team are just undervalued because of Giannis playing with the team.

By the way, I'd appreciate if there's a member from here who can share which TV stations these games are televised.
I availed for an IPTV thinking I could see these games but I haven't find the right channel yet.
