It's the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic and it's a meeting between the best WBC team and second best league Japan against the best league United States
The US has never made the finals while Japan is trying to make their third finals in 4 competitions. The teams are 1-1 against each other with the US getting a 4-3 win in 06 and Japan smashing Roy Oswalt and the US for a 9-4 win in the 09 semifinals

Joshua Clark
what part of japan you from senpai
Brody Thomas
they won their group, USA was 2nd what could have been bullshit is the home team in the final, it was always the winner of the first semi, so if netherlands and japan both won netherlands would be the home team which is stupid since they finished behind japan in their group. PR won though so it's ok
