Checked in on Canada-Great Britain. It’s 16-8 after 4. The game started three hours ago.

US in a whole lot of trouble right now, down 7-1 to Mexico in the 5th. With the way Canada and Britain have looked this group could come down to a three way tie between US, Mexico, and Colombia, and the US giving up 7 already this game would not be great for the RA/outs metric.

Mexico won, 11-5.
Why did the teams in the Eastern Hemisphere brackets start three days earlier than the Western? Travel time since the final rounds are Western?
Third tie-breaker looks bad for the US:
Also, holy hell:
The Super Bowl rating this year was 40.0%.

With Mexico putting up 11 on USA, even if the US were to shutout Colombia, they couldn’t pass Mexico on the tiebreaker without going 11 innings. Mexico vs Colombia went 10 innings and Mexico only gave up 10 runs total against the US and Colombia, so have an advantage in both runs allowed and defensive outs.
If my math is right, the US needs to beat Colombia by 8 runs if the three teams were to tie at 3-1. Not a great position for them. Likely need to hope for a Canada over Colombia or Mexico upset.

The Asian groups are now final as Australia beats Czechia 8-3 and Korea wallops China 22-2 in a five inning mercy.
It will be Japan vs Italy/USA and Cuba vs Australia in the quarterfinals in Tokyo.
China and Taiwan have both been relegated to the qualifying round for the next WBC.

Well, those worries about the tiebreaker might have been premature. Britain comes out and beats Colombia today 8-6.

Wait… Israel has a team? Sandy Koufax and Hank Greenberg would be proud.

Never mind.

Sandy Koufax and Greenberg might have played for them. It's another US team built on ancestry like Italy.
This is a weird sentence to type, but:
Puerto Rico wins 10-0 on a walk-off in the 8th to secure a perfect game over Israel. First perfect game in WBC history. Only other no-hitter was a 7-inning for the Netherlands against Panama in 2006.

I figured when I saw Danny Valencia out there and Ian Kinsler managing.

Canada started a 19 year old single-A pitcher tonight. Hasn't gone well. Loaded the bases with no outs, it's now 4-0 USA with one out and he's been pulled.. for another pitcher who was Single-A and then Indy ball last year.

Update: Hasn't gone any better. a single, a triple, and a HBP later makes it 6-0. Sends Trout up to the plate with two on. First pitch was a fastball at the knees that Trout lasered to left center. 9-0 USA in the first.

US won 12-1 in 7 innings. If Canada and Britain win today a five way tie is still possible.
In the Miami pool Nicaragua is already eliminated and doomed to relegation. Venezuela is in a really good spot to win the group having beaten Puerto Rico and DR already.

21 year old Nicaraguan pitcher Duque Hebbert struck out Juan Soto, Julio Rodriguez, and Rafael Devers 1-2-3 in the 9th.
An hour later the Tigers signed him to a contract.

As a note, he gave up a double between those K's. But still pretty awesome.

Canada comes back after yesterday's thrashing and pulls out a 5-0 win over Colombia. At 2-1 they now control their destiny for a quarterfinal berth with a win against Mexico tomorrow.

Old Timers Day at the end of the Israel-Domincan game. Cano and Cruz each get on with singles, advance to second and third on a past balls, and the DR wins it 10-0 on a walk-off ground rule double in 7 innings.
Israel got one hit and one base runner the last two games over 14 innings.
And with Israel losing that means Venezuela has clinched a quarterfinal berth.

Deleted the prior scenarios because I was including a full nine innings of outs for the US, but if Colombia wins then the US wouldn't be at 27 outs, they'd have 24.
New scenarios -
US wins and they advance as the 2nd seed. Mexico has already won the group.
If Colombia wins (non-walk off or walk off with zero outs to make it easy):
By three runs or fewer and score is 3-0 or less, US advances.
By 4-1 score, goes to the earned runs allowed per out tiebreaker between US and Colombia.
By two runs or fewer and score is 4-2 to 8-6, US advances.
By 9-7 score, goes to the earned runs allowed per out tiebreaker between US and Colombia.
By three or more scoring more than 5 without allowing 10, Colombia advances.
By 4+ without giving up 10 or more, Colombia advances.
By 11-10 score, goes to earned runs allowed per out tiebreaker between US and Canada.
By any score with Colombia 12+ and US 10+, Canada advances.
As said before, these scenarios do introduce the South Park Little League situation where the US could try to lose on purpose in order to ensure they lose by less than three or four.
