World Cup Appearances:
1 - 2002

Zlatko Zahovic, Miran Pavlin, Milan Osterc, Ales Ceh
Approximate Odds of Winning:
100-1
AskMen's Rating of Team:
(out of 100)
65
Significant Strength:
Organization. Every player fulfills his duties on the field and with Katanec as coach, physical play and on-the-ground technique will put the team's strong points in the forefront.
Significant Weakness:
Experience. Although Slovenia consists of young and vibrant soccer players, we wonder whether the team has any first class players.
AskMen's Prediction:
Making their first appearance in the World Cup, Slovenia has nothing to lose. And although they will likely finish third in Group B and won't make it to the second round, these dedicated players will give it all they've got for 90 consecutive minutes of every game. Let's see if their drive makes up for their lack of skills.
