so far the DR, Cuba and Korea hav advanced
i tried readin the scenario of how USA or Japan can advance; it was confusin.
here it is tho for those who wanna kno:
 USA advances with a win or tie or 1-0 loss.

But here's what else we know:

# If USA scores, MEX is eliminated.
# MEX can only advance with a 3-0 or 4-0 win in 13 or 14 innings.
# If MEX scores more than two runs (before the 13th), JPN will advance unless USA wins.
# If MEX scores more than three runs, JPN advances unless USA wins (or MEX wins 4-0 – see above).
# If MEX scores exactly two runs – and makes fewer than two out in bottom of ninth – JPN advances unless USA wins.
# If MEX scores exactly two runs – including the winning run with two out in the bottom of the ninth – USA and JPN are tied with 5 runs allowed in 17 2/3 innings. One of JPN's runs is unearned (ERA is the next tiebreaker).

So:
• If both MEX runs are earned, JPN advances.
• If both MEX runs are unearned, USA advances.
• If one MEX run is earned, then JPN and USA must break tie with batting average in games between teams. JPN is 20 for 65 (.305). USA was 12 for 36 (.333) vs. JPN.

i sat in the upper view seats near third and home, and they were only 12$ since i bought them at the stadium, i didnt have to pay for parking neither, i know a spot near the factories where i can park and get out without having traffic neither.....all together 35$ was spent on food and tickets

No you obviously don't know if you were suprised that there was that many Mexicans there. Unlike you we Mexican's are proud of our heritage and don't deny it.

US shouldnt be proud of its international play. they didnt do what was expected in basketball and they didnt deliver in baseball either. you could blame it on the timing but they're major league players, they shud be able to handle their business anytime.
