Slovenia enters their second World Cup in the same group as the US and with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. Slovenia was able to upset Russia for a spot, and are this year's smallest nation by population to qualify. It will be difficult for Slovenia to move out of group play as they lack firepower and star power. The style of play by Slovenia in qualifying is defensive, and the head coach Matjaz Kek was ridiculed for it, but now is considered a national hero.
