Congratulations to the Cuban team! They were the other Latino team I have been rooting for, and have looked quite good in the tournament. I guess they have their own motivations to get to American mainland (a bit of a contrast to Korean motivators), as well.
mmm, could be. Maybe a couple of them stay here for good!
But the Korea playing in the games is South Korea, the capitalist, the developed one, the one that makes Hyundai, Samsung... etc. Communist North Korea couldn't even afford the team's uniform. BIG difference between the two:chinese: :chinese:

Ichiro's stupid remarks about Korea's baseball team also motivated the Korean players to perform as best as they can.
A lot of the baseball players are also looking for bigger contracts in Japan and the United States.

While I do agree, do you agree that some are playing with more heart and soul than others? I think the Korean team is kicking butt all over the other teams due to extra motivation. I may be way off base with my comments for the Cubans. Whatever the case, I am definitely rooting for them behind the DR.

Hi there :classic:
Before the tournament began, Ichiro said that Korea cannot beat Japan for the next 30 years.
Ichiro underestimated an underdog.
I'm sorry to hear about the United States.
Except...
THE USA TEAM...they were playing for themselves...each and every player...they don't grasp the concept of a NATIONAL TEAM...that plays for PRIDE OF THEIR COUNTRY...it's not embedded in their brains since childhood like in the rest of the world...
Even the commentators are at awe when they see the painted faces, the drums, the all around good feeling of the games...(well, except some of the cuban games...but that's the cubans that are already in the US fault!)

Hey, cubano, are you the same guy who posted on LNSM forum re the Cuba vs. DR game? That was a very good report describing the flow of emotions at the Jaragua Hotel during the game.
