As we know, some of the WNBA girls will be in this competition which starts 27th June and finishes around the 7th July, so a really quick competition. The competition is held between Latvia and Serbia, so expect those countries to have great support. 

There are 16 countries which are put into 4 groups of 4. 

The number beside the country is their current world ranking;

2. Spain
4. France
6. Turkey
8. Serbia
11. Russia
12. Czech Republic
13. Belarus
16. Belgium
24. Latvia
25. Great Britain
26. Montenegro
31. Italy
41. Sweden
38. Ukraine
50. Hungary
63. Slovenia

Spain and France hot favs to win this competition, I think the Spanish team is the fav with France in second.

Group A
Ukraine
Great Britain
Latvia 
Spain

Group B
Sweden
France
Czech Republic
Montenegro

Group C
Hungary
Turkey
Italy
Slovenia

Group D
Belarus
Russia
Belgium
Serbia

Toughest group is that Group D, with Russia/Belgium/Serbia are possible of going through. Belarus isn't a bad country either and could upset a few. 

I may have a few futures plays coming up. 

Will keep all plays under this one thread, feel free to chime in.

Good stuff Rod, might be some nice juicy underdogs to take in the tournament.

You thinking Belgium can win the title?

Aussie, it looks like Turkey is in the weakest group. What do you think about Turkey -.5 against Italy and -4.5 against Slovenia?

Turkey -4.5 is a pretty small line considering their difference in WR's. Because that game is going to be a B2B game for Turkey, I would wait to maybe see how they perform against the Italians on opening night. Italy have a decent line-up and both those teams love to play slow ball so I am expecting a grind-em kind of game. But, if you do wait that long, then the -4.5 will get higher. Your call on when you take the line Brew but Turkey should be able to handle Slovenia on such a small line. With the Italy game, that's a tough call because Italy are a decent team mate and I would probably sit that game out.

I believe that Latvia might have a bit of a letdown tournament this year. That might be a very nice bet you have made there.

Good luck Brew. The Swedes have not been good leading into the tournament and although Montenegro has not played a big country for some time but they should come out swinging especially as the underdogs.

This Sweden/Montenegro game is hard to watch, unless youre on the under and then its still hard to watch but going your way.

next one...France vs Cze again looking at a lean toward under 139.
A big match up for France defensive with array of 6'3 towers stopping Cze from come closer to the basket and force that ugly jumpers.  The Cze has no legit center and will use their small forwards to a 4's etc.  

I have spoken ….

No play on this one there are plenty of games to come...

FWIW both teams are not in 100% form...under 139 and Cze +14
are the right plays.

Russia vs Belgium: Belgium -2.5

Taking the Belgians because I think they are on a mission this tournament and this is their best chance of winning a title and would want to start off on a winning note

Slovenia vs Hungary: Over 142.5

Both teams should push the pace and aren’t known for their stellar defence so I think we see both teams hit 70+ and get this game over

Yes I agree with you with over 142 I had 1 unit on it soon after the opening game had finished,
Slovenia seems to push the pace & drag along opposite team with scoring.  I hope Hungary can keep up FG % and hang around 60 to 68 points.

The Belgium game I too almost jump at -2.5 as well but Emma 33 is not playing, so i’ll Give it a miss.
