Ngl, the US not advancing would be pretty fucking funny.

There’s definitely already a handshake agreement for a 3-0 Mexico win.

This guy did the calculations.

This just makes me mad at DeRosa. Last night doesn’t even account for the fact he left Boyd in forever in the Mexico game to give up runs.

honestly i’d love to see the chaos if they didn’t make it

Please eliminate Team USA. These cocky idiots don’t deserve the tournament title that they don’t even care about anyway. It’s *not the Olympics* after all.

I’m rooting for Mexico and Italy to make it in the hopes that DeRosa is never allowed to manage our national team ever again.

an italy win would also eliminate mexico from the LA28 olympics, which you would think is a big goal for them

In Italian soccer there’s something known as a *biscotto.* This is a convenient draw between two teams that eliminates a third. Will go down well with the Bench Espressos

Please let it be the green, because a) it would be really funny; b) I don’t want us getting first place in A only to fight the USA; c) it would be reallyyyy funny, man.

this is how we find out if the mafia is in baseball

So if Italy wins we’re in, or if Mexico wins and scores at least 5 runs we’re in?
It’d be karmic justice if the US waltzed in here like they were the heavy favorites and then can’t even make it to the knock out rounds lol.

This chart is very misleading. There are actually very few scenarios in which the USA advance. We all know Mexico will beat an emotionally drained Italian team, but does anyone on here really think Mexico is going to hold the Italians under 5 runs? 9/10 scenarios result in the US being eliminated

Fuck McLean, fuck DeRosa. And I don’t even like the WBC. I think it’s a frivolous competition distracting from preparations for the real MLB season and games that actually matter.

The US being eliminated would be bad for the WBC in terms of viewership and the promotion of the tournament.
However, it would also be extremely funny.
Plus, if fans still need a team full of Americans to root for, Team Italy will be right there.
Fully expecting Italy and Mexico to work together and keep USA out. It’s the funniest outcome and would cause the most chaos

So if I’m reading this right, if during the game Italy scores 4 runs or Mexico scores 5, then the US would advance however the game ends from then onward?

If Italy score 5 runs tonight USA advances no matter who wins the game. Very little chance of Italy scoring 5 runs after such an emotional win over the US

[Disgrace at Gijon Energy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrace_of_Gij%C3%B3n?wprov=sfti1#), a tidy 3-1 Mexico win sounds great!

For those that don’t know flags.
Great chart visualization
Mind the Chart!
