Netherlans through to the quarters!
The Netherlands advanced to the quarterfinals due to a suprising 2-1 victory over Cuba, their first World Cup defeat in 6 years!
Of course the dutch are lucky to face Cuba now, because the wanted to rest their best pitchers. But nevertheless a great win, and i guess a deserved quarter-final place after a good win against Korea and a unfortunate loss against the strong Aussies.

Leave that American away. But for the rest I feel the same...I'm one happy Dutch-American
Learning all the time.
Well done to the Dutch......Cuba is not unbeatable after all!! With such a strong Dutch contingent here at BF it is good to see the team progress, to keep you folk happy.
After being trounced 19-1 by Mexico Spain was able to keep Japan to just a 4-3 win??
Mexico seem to have found form with another solid win 11-2 over Italy
Korea has beaten Germany 8-1 (Korea is the last team other than Cuba to win the IBAF World Cup, in 1982)

According to the Taiwanese news media, the Panama team was disqualified to play in round 2 due to some players "INSURANCE issue" (WTH is this?), Mexico will replace Panama as the #4 team in pool A.

Well I haven't been able to verify this news. I simply responded to a previous post by ROC. Irregardless of who goes to the second round, I'm cool with that.

lurk long enough, might as well register to answer some questions.
world cup official site,
http://tw.sports.yahoo.com/2007worldcup/
yes, it is in Chinese, but if you point your cursor over the links it is in English, so you can tell which is schedule and which is result, it is not that hard. sometimes they even have live score updates.
it is nice to see Italy not got in not because they got screwed against Taiwan, but because they lost their last game, do they have a beef? the first base umpire who made the critical calls in the late inning is Japanese, theortically Japan is fighting Italy for the 4th spot in the group,
the tough game Cuba and America play the day before yesterday is because after a day break, both coaches intentionally ease up and want to go 9 innings, so they can work out pitchers whom had not pitched in days.
the Panama situation is very sad, some other unnamed countries (Mexico? Spain?) report them for not having their 7 major league players under insurance for the first game against Spain, by law all major league players have to be under insurance to play in IBF, they are slow in processing their player's insurance and it did not take effect until the first game against Spain was over. so Panama has to forefit the first game and their record turns to 3-4 and drop to the 5th place, Panama won head to head against Mexico and would have got in if not for this snifu on paperworks.

Well, it seems that after this controversy with the insurance for their MLB players Panama is gonna be left out of this tournament. This is really sad because I thought Panama had prepared really well for this tournament and it was playing decent baseball.
So, if it turns out to be like this it'll be Cuba vs. Mexico. Let's see how the Mexican rookies perform against our National Team. I predict
By the way, I predicted at the end of the Intercontinental Cup that these teams filled with journeymen and for-the-most-part-raw-prospects in their rosters were catching up to us. I think this tournament is a testament to that statement.
Our Baseball needs to be fixed.
Learning all the time.
Where has this info come from? Panama is still listed as a qualifier (4th in Group A), and Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) is also listed as a quailfier (2nd in Group A) in the standings on the IBAF website. What has MLB got to do with the World Cup???

I just checked the IBAF site and it does have a little comment about a pending ruling on team Panama. It appears that it has something to do with insurance requirements of MLB players on the Panamanian team. As a Mexican Baseball fan I would like nothing more then to see the Mexican team continue in the tournament, however, the rule seems to be a little flimsy! Panama beat Mexico fair and square during the round robin and they should be awarded for it.

Ok so it is not MLB but you have to love the way this World Cup is growing. There have been a lot of close games, some final innings heroics and some controversial calls.....sounds like the sort of games fans love. For those of you who don't know the rally cry for the Australians on field is 'mongrel dog', in otherwords don't stop fighting for the win, and they have certainly shown some of that.
Looking forwards to the rest of the series

for Japan and Aussie, substitute 58(game number) with 57
Taiwan pitcher with 5K through 2 inning, (and 6 of the first 9 Dutch hitters were K.) but Dutch has more hits (2) compare to Taiwan (1).

Wooohooo!!! Holland defeats Chinese Taipei in a game with a nail biting finish, 6-3 after 11 innings and the Dutch match their performance of 2005. Excellent stuff! We've already played Korea, so Holland vs USA would be nice......

Good games all around.
Australia has a surprisingly good team this year, but I don't think it's too surprising that Japan beat them. Taiwan losing to Holland is much more surprising, at least to me.
I think this could be a year Cuba doesn't win! Though Cuba has, as always, an excellent team in the field.
If you don't love me, you have a terrible OPS+.
