Will Japan defeat USA in the championship?
What a Game 🎉 Congratulations to Japan and to Mexico, they gave a complete spectacle.
Love Japan..But definitely Mexico did fantastic since day one.
I am Japanese🇯🇵I thought Japan would lose. The Mexican team had a high level of batting and pitching, and I felt hopeless. The Japanese team won, but I think it was a very difficult match to win. Also, Mexico is a country that loves baseball, and I was moved by the news that small children in Mexico, who aspire to be baseball players in the future, are enjoying baseball every day and doing their best even when things are tough. I have never been to Mexico but I definitely want to go🤝 Great player, great team, thank you Japan, thank you Mexico🇯🇵🤝🇲🇽
0:03 this is very wrong …….
I'm happy they credited that kid-guy that was on 1st for his base running. Hitter always gets the credit but scoring from 1st is great base running
일본 잘한다. 이게 진짜 야구지.
진짜 역대급 명경기였다.
일본 우승해라!!
President Yoon.. very Happy!!!
😂por ocicones pinche juego aburrido Vergero jamás le llegará al fútbol perras
I dont get the hate with the WBC, this is awesome
I’m grateful for playing the match with Mexico!!nice game!!
Joe Davis has become an absolute legend of commentary.
Ni pr ni domi ni mexico ..jalen habladores 😊
That first base runner is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING he was flying around the bases and literally about to catch Ohtani. when Ohtani hit double and roared everyone got freaking thrilled but this guy Shudou is THE MVP. 2:05
im just watching for Roki Sasaki 😉
Shuto Ukyo's first base to home plate winner run is insanely amazing as well. Kudos to that man!He killed that pinch running moment. 🔥💪
This game is good for Japón
佐々木くんは、これからメジャーに行って成長する
Quiero felicitar a nuestro Equipo Mexicano, me siento orgulloso del desempeño realizado en este torneo, desde mi punto de vista son campeones, es difícil mantener una racha ganadora al hilo, vencieron a equipos grandes y no solo eso, lea dieron una paliza. Estoy seguro que es una nueva era para Mexico, en este tipo de eventos. Demostraron tener una mentalidad ganadora, gracias por las emociones que nos regalaron, felicidades a cada uno del staff Mexicano, volveré a ver esos partidos que nos dieron emoción. Suerte y sigan triunfando. Viva Mexico.
Congratulations USA for ruining the Classic because you don't care very sad very sad!
Honestly they should take MLB baseball out of the USA and bring it to another country that really cares somewhere in South America's or in the Japan or ANYWHERE because United States you don't deserve this gm anymore.
As a Mexican 🇲🇽American 🇺🇸 great game . Congrats to Japan 🇯🇵 ❤
Tremendas o juego
Samurai vs Hillbilly next
Amazing Japan 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
감독의 유능함이 보이는 경기
Gracias Mexico ! Aunque para muchos países fue sorpresa , tenemos tradición en baseboll muchas leyendas , siempre jugadores top en la liga americana . Solo no se había conjugado lo que hoy si . Hicieron equipo unieron al país y ahora si viene lo mejor estoy seguro . Japón que cultura , respeto total ! Se ve la pasión que sienten por la bola .
YOSHIDA❤
well done!
P0r bocones igual que Los boricuas.aprendan aser.humildes y inteligentes.sus tatas japoneses
Fox sports is really going to loose a lot of revenue for not televising the game on local affiliates. Bad move on their part. A business wants to make money not loose customers.

“Why is the Japanese team so strong?" No, this is better phrased, for the sake of simplicity, as "Why are players from the Japanese baseball system so strong?"
Can we say that it is because the Japanese team this time has strong members? If so, it would be a transient thing produced by coincidence.
However, the reason “why Japanese baseball is strong” in international tournaments is not because they have strong members and excellent coaches.
It is because they are “not players who grew up learning baseball” in the United States.
They were “educated in Japan's unique system of baseball education”, and the best of them were selected to become Japanese professionals, and some of them have made it to the majors in the U.S.A., the Japanese baseball players are not American-bred.
Needless to say, baseball is a sport born in the United States, and each country in this tournament has its own major leaguers.
The Japanese team, however, is made up of players who have been educated and nurtured in the Japanese baseball system, including coaches and managers.
The strength of the Japanese baseball team is that it is a group of players from “the Japanese baseball education system”, not players educated in the U.S. This is the biggest characteristic and difference between the Japanese team and the U.S. team.
This is not only the difference from USA teams, but also from Chinese, Korean, and Taiwanese teams in Asia.
Unless Americans accurately recognize this, they will not know the strength of the Japanese team, nor will they be able to develop countermeasures.
“Why do players like Ichiro and Otani emerge from Japanese baseball?”
“Why are Japanese pitchers and fielders so precise and well mastered in their defense?”
“Why are Japanese players able to play calmly on the big stage and in a pinch? “
This is a big difference from American baseball, which is the result of “the difference in education” they have received since their childhood and school days.
It cannot be dismissed as a cultural difference from Japan.
The difference in the educational environment during their school days and the difference in the content of baseball education are the secrets of the source of the strength of Japanese baseball.
Americans are surprised at the results of the games because they don't know this and don't want to know it.
There are causes and reasons for all facts.
Now got Taiwan and South Korean again any South America, since Japan win 1 for Asia 😂😂😂
garbage
Wow what a fricking game congrats japan 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Is it true? Japan is the best in the world?!?!
Probablemente Japón > México > EEUU
Mexico same china
Me parece🎉
