Japan just beat the US.

Go Korea!!!

For those of you familiar with LA, you know it is going to be more of a home-field atmosphere for the Koreans than it is for the Japanese. Razz

Who makes the schedule?? Isn't this the 4th time that S. Korea will be playing Japan?

Korea has played Japan four times so far, they are tied at 2-2. I wish tomorrow's game was at night so I could watch it as it'll be a nail biter.

They're going to rework the scheduling next time around (2013). The double elimination didn't work out very well, considering how the last game of each pool was pointless.

Go Japan!

WBC sucks! One game rounds????

At least have a best of 3 finals or something

The winner of this doesnt determine the worlds best team. Unlike what Koreans think if they win

The same could be said for almost any sporting event. Doesn't take away from the accomplishment, IMO.

Sure it does!

One game rounds determine nothing! Only who played the better single game.
Doesnt prove anything! A reason why soccer sucks as well in the World Cup

At least have the best of 3 or 5 game series in the semi-finals and finals

Also, I wouldnt say ANY sport. Hockey, baseball and basketball all have best-of-series in the playoffs. Of course, the WBC cant have that many games, but still.

When a hockey/baseball/basketball team has to win 4 rounds of best-of-7, it shows who really is the best!

Last week the game was on in the office and no one got any work done on their off periods because we were all congregated around the tv. I assume tomorrow will be the same.

WBC = NOBODY in the USA cares except the Koreans who go to games and wave flags.

BTW, I'm glad the US team is out. At least Jimmy and Shane didn't get hurt.

Ah, but this IS the 5th game between Korea and Japan.

They should make the Championship game MORE interesting. Let's say the winner gets Dokdo. Would that increase TV ratings? Wink

Not 5 games split. 5 games in a row IF necessary
