im rooting for Mexico and the Dominican Republic. what a game today vs venezuela. wow they scored alot of runs. 8-)

by **Rip32** on Wed Mar 08, 2006 9:20 am

Im rootin foor the US and soo far they have been ok 1-0 7th inning against mexico. Peavy looked dominant and with Willis and Clemens still to come its not any easier for opposing batters. The hitters have been alright, DLee had a homer but thats the only real action so far.

yup Korea and japan advance to the 2nd round.

USA beat Mexico 2-0

and South Africa is made up of alot of players from the USA who were either born there or have some type of connection to that country. ive seen english players on that team. mostly made up alot of minor league players.

damian moss and travis blackley are the ones that stick out the most they been in some major league games. no real big names on that team. im surprise Chris Snelling is not on the team hes probably the best australian in the majors even if he is a bench warmer in Seattle. :cool:

by **Drex** on Thu Mar 09, 2006 6:12 am

I'm rooting for Chile :crazy:

by **Abctest123** on Thu Mar 09, 2006 12:01 pm

Australia vs. Dominican Republic. tommorow night at 7:00 pm est. Who wins ? :lol:

If Australia wins , I'm going to blow up .

by **J@3** on Fri Mar 10, 2006 11:14 am

if Australia wins I'm going to blow up.

We got beaten 10-0 by Italy the other day

by **The Other Kevin** on Fri Mar 10, 2006 12:16 pm

In their defence, Italy is basically Major Legures that weren't good enough to make the USA team but have blood lines that are only a few generations back in Italy. So you too can play on the Italian national basketball team, Jae. :lol:

by **J@3** on Fri Mar 10, 2006 12:38 pm

oh so that's what the news reader was on about... one of them made a joke about the Australian players having spent more time in Italy than the guys on the Italian team had.

by **SrgioSoccer19** on Fri Mar 10, 2006 2:26 pm

Im going with Mexico all the way baby!!! Loaiza nd Rodrigo Lopez are the best!!!

by **Yessie** on Fri Mar 10, 2006 6:04 pm

Mexico beat Canada

now if USA beats south africa

Canada's big win wont matter cause Mexico and USA will advance..

yah im rooting for Mexico (Y)

and Big Papi and the dominican republic 8-)

by **Bang** on Sat Mar 11, 2006 1:57 am

Well I'm rooting for Korea. We made Ichiro shut the fuck up, and we will make everyone else do the same. (Ichiro said that we wouldn't beat them in 30 years...which turned out to be three days.) Actually I know we have an extremely low chance, but if japan were considered for winning it all, then we could probably win it all too.

by **Yessie** on Sat Mar 11, 2006 9:45 am

Japan wont get passed the 2nd round Why? Ichiro is there best hitter and there pitching is horrible everything goes up in the air

Korea wont get passed the 2nd round Why? CHAN HO PARK nuff said 8-)
