Bad News for USA Baseball
Bad News for USA Baseball
Although the American team did squeak into the playoff round through sheer luck and a favor from Italy, unfortunately their second place finish in Pool B means a quarterfinal date with the vaunted Pool A winner Canada, who will be heavily favored against their overmatched neighbors to the south. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Re: Bad News for USA Baseball
Canada's recent history of playing the USA (Olympic Hockey) should not be reason for overconfidence 😉😉😉😊😊😊
Re: Re: Bad News for USA Baseball
Canada gave Team USA a good game at the World Baseball Classic.
So to recap the rivalry this year:
Baseball: USA 5, Canada 3
Olympic Men’s Hockey final: USA 2, Canada 1
Olympic Women’s Hockey final: USA 2, Canada 1
But the big news from Saturday was from the only sport that really matters, the only one that really counts - the Women’s World Curling Championship. In Round Robin play, Team Canada demolished Team USA 11-3, proving Canadian athletic superiority, and making the total aggregate score from all 2026 events:
Canada 16, USA 12.
Better luck next time. 😁
