Would it be right for them to brag and boast alongside their arrogant (and racist) jaw-flapping Ichiro? Because Korea has beaten them twice already. Korea is still undefeated in the WBC. It just wouldn't seem right if Korea happens to lose to Japan this Saturday and is eliminated that easily, considering how consistently well they've been playing so far.
What makes it worse is that it's team Japan. Ichiro (and company) have come into the WBC mouthing off about how they're the best baseball team in the far east, and Korea has put a sock in Ichiro's mouth not once, but TWICE. (and even before the WBC, Korea has never lost to Japan in international competition since the 1990's.)
It's bothersome knowing that after being shut up twice by the better Korean team, Japan still has a chance to win only one game out of three, and claim themselves as the better team just because they advance to the Finals, and then ultimately continue their bragging and boasting from where they left off. Korea beats Japan twice, but Japan only needs to beat Korea once(at the right time) to advance to the Finals. Just doesn't sit right with me. And who was it from Japan that said, "In the third game the truth will be revealed." Might've been the president of the Japanese baseball organization but I don't remember exactly. But what nerve he must have to say such a shallow statement? If Japan finally beats Korea on their 3rd try, and start talking garbage about "the truth being revealed"(that they're better than Team Korea), then they will totally be swimming in their own pool of s**t and loving it. And that's sad.
I think the way this whole tournament is set up is just kinda weird.
