The last one was amazing
nice
👍👍
Nice one.. 🔥
👍
nice
These have been great. MLB should push these more. It's just fun baseball to watch
I agree. I would love it this was yearly or bi-annual. The championship game from the last tournament is still one of my favorite games ever
I got into it this past week. Yes, it's more fun and interesting to watch than MLB.
@@vp_wrld Looks as though they're returning it to every 3 years instead of 4. The next one (on Wikipedia at least) is slated for 2026. Which I think is fine. 3 years is good!
It’s world cup of baseball
It works fine with every 4 years like the World Cup
@@kng1122 Dont ever Compare Baseball to Soccer again!!!
those Great Britain uniforms look like they were made in five minutes lol
Yep....Kinda like Boston's Uni.
like newspaper
I feel bad with how much effort went into them
We once sent a development team to a European competition, but didn't have any uniforms (or money) so they called the team Greater Berkshire 1938 and wore the national team jerseys with GB on the chest.
I was thinking the same thing, why didn’t they give them any personality?
As a Great Britain fan, it's a huge victory we only lost by 4 runs
😂
USA should be ashamed at the score. Well done Great Britain.
@@jamiepike6909 boy y’all really don’t watch baseball 💀
💀💀
Hitting baseball is hard
I'm American, so pulling for team USA isn't really a question, but part of me wonders how it would be if GB goes far. I'd love to see baseball grow a lot more in the UK. Good game, and best of luck to our friends across the pond!
My only wish would be that GB would develop the game more in the mold of how American baseball used to be. Like developing pitchers that can actually strategically pitch rather than always trying to max out the radar gun. Its a lost art. Don Sutton once said no matter how fast you pitch, hitters will eventually catch up to it, but if you are constantly keeping them guessing and changing speeds and location, the pitcher will always have the upper hand advantage and will save his arm in the process.
The Great Britain team is majority Americans.
@@trinidadjames203 It's no secret, I'm sure, but to have a team who is sporting their flag on a world stage, I'm sure is a huge morale boost for baseball fans there. Same goes for other countries where baseball isn't as popular. I'd also love to see the same for Americans and Soccer/Futbol.
@@Mark-sj3xb They can't all be Aroldis Chapmans. I also notice this with a lot of high school pitchers, where many believe that speed is THE unit of measurement of skill. Takes a good amount of strength to pitch fast, but witnessing the mental battle between a great pitcher and hitter is something neither will ever forget, and it's amazing to witness. I hope we can see more pros coming from across the pond, who can adopt the mentality you've stated.
Yea they're better than I expected, they're basically a really good minor league team, with some major league experience. Probably won't get past the first round though, I'm expecting it to be USA and either Mexico or Colombia.
I like how the back of Team USA’s jersey looks just like the Braves home jersey.
Great Britain on the other hand, their uniforms look as if they went to a local sporting goods store the day before the tournament and had them press some letters on to the front
I agree, looks like it came from the Great Britain little league, those uniforms 😳. Odd!
Arenado & Goldy were the most impressive tonight.
They kept saying during commentary how serious those two were taking it and it showed.
Good at bats, good defense and running out every ball. They're captains for sure!
Ok but tell Arenado to ask Manny how to make an accurate throw. Dudes always hitting dirt.
@@hr5xz89ow Goldy won the NL MVP last year and arenado was in the top 3, what do you mean?
@@hr5xz89ow Uh, which players are you referring to? It seems to me that every Brit player is playing at least independent league ball (high-A or AA caliber) in the states with most being in the minors or prior MLB players. Hardly plumbers and electricians.
Are they really the captains of the squad? Serious question btw
@@hr5xz89ow if you knew the first thing about baseball you’d know who Trayce Thompson and Vance Worley are
I can't wait for the US-Japan match.
I don't think we can hold this monstrous lineup.
It will be a great match.
Team Japan looks incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat us.
@@Mister_Clean Thank you, I'm proud to be Japanese.
If I had my way, I really wanted to see Trout and Shohei play against each other!
If they both end up in the finals, that will be an amazing game to watch
@@jasongiannaros4091 I'll be rooting for both countries as hard as I can to make it to the finals.
We can only hope that baseball will regain some of its popularity in the United States.
i want to see Japan play D.R. or Puerto Rico or Venezuela. I hate the way this tournament is set up where all the Asian teams have to play each other instead of a true blend of teams. I understand why they set it up like this (money, marketing, cut down on travel etc.) but it's one of the weakest aspects of this tournament
I always enjoy these world baseball classics.
@@hr5xz89owthere are many countries in it who have good teams lmao. Don’t watch it if it displeases you
@@hr5xz89ow Where have you been for the last few days? There has been quite a few great games so far. A few blowouts, sure, but much less than anticipated. This WBC is shaping up to be one for the ages.
I'm really happy they are getting more popular.
@Josh T that was funny, but at the same time it wasnt.
I like the classic i want to see usa playing againts better teams such as Mexico Canada and colombia
I am Japanese
cheering from Japan
Go！USA！
コスプレして応援しにくるノリめっちゃ良いな😂楽しそうで羨ましい👏
I know Daniel Cooper through work and he hasn’t played serious ball in a few years. I love seeing him up there pitching. He actually played with some of the USA players in the minors. I believe he hung it up professionally in 2016. So awesome to see him living his dream out
this is awesome. i don't know why people here are being so negative toward GB. just qualifying for the WBC is a huge deal and it is probably cool for the British fans of baseball to see them represented on a big stage like this
A great game, and some great exposure for GB, plus they held on much more than anyone expected against possibly the best US WBC lineup ever! Just wish the ump wasn't so bad to GB pitchers that the announcers called him out on it..
UK made some Great plays!! I definitely appreciate the “CUP O TEA” ☕️ action! 😅 I love baseball and my daughters played for 7 straight seasons. ..traveled everywhere in CA. for their teams. It’s a lot of fun, endured some injuries, etc. Of course, I would be shocked at any loss by US. Little League try outs at 6 years old. It’s great to watch the other INTERNATIONAL TEAMS. How fun would it be watching this “LIVE”.
From Dominican Republic, salut to Team USA and Team United Kingdom 👏👍! Yo amo El Béisbol, y el World Baseball Clasic también ⚾💖❣️🌍
Saludos desde EEUU! Nos vemos en la final 🇺🇸 🇩🇴
U.K fought well against the strongest USA even though it was their first international match. It is a team that is looking forward to the future games. Both the USA and the U.K expect good performances in the WBC.
Cheer up!!! 🇺🇸 🤝 🇬🇧
I hope the baseball program gets more money, I'd love for baseball to get more popular in the UK
Please can you brits stop copying everything we Americans do. And go play your European sports
@@jediknight3164 we do don't worry. But some people wanna play American sports too. Don't get so in your feelings about it
Need to scount cricket players haha
@@jediknight3164 really bro!? 😂
What a time to be a cardinals fan, wainwright gets the opening start and goldy and arenado hitting 3 4 in the lineup contributing and driving in runs, love it
And nootbar shining in japan
Absolutely love it
@@jeikukroniisguardiandog3296 Wish I could watch team Japan, but I’m not awake nearly early enough
As a Cubs fan I'll cheer them on until the MLB season starts lol
Wainwright three Thompson a cookie though and wasn't that sharp to be honest.
this is what I call the real world series
I love the WBC, just wish the rich owners wouldn't block USA's top arms from playing like Degrom, Scherzer, Verlander, Cease, Gallen, Kershaw, Mclanahan, Rodon, Strider, Nola, Burnes, Wheeler, Cole, Fried, Helsey, Woodruff etc. Imagine Verlander starting the gold medal game against Japan and Otahni? Degrom coming out of the bullpen.. Woud be awesome.
If the USA sent it's best pitchers there would no contest. The best baseball, BY FAR is the MLB post-season. I love the WBC but to America it is just a fun exhibition match.
But it's all about the money. Every player from around the world wants to play in the MLB, that's the highest tier, not really this WBC. So the MLB IS a world event. USA does NOT have their best pitchers on the team, so it's less "worldly" than you might think.
@@thefox47545 Yes, but its once every four years and its an MLB sanctioned event. MLB makes money off of it and the owners just pocket it without releasing their top American pitchers. Had the potential to be a best on best, but the owners ruined it. Whatever I have no interests in MLB baseball anymore and will only watch the WBC
𝘚𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨
How come they aren't on TV. Atleast I haven't seen them yet. 4 years ago and 4 more after that they did because I love the classics. Wish other sports did it too.
So happy the WBC is back! The last one was amazing. Let's go USA!
God i love Kyle Schwarber and his amazing story
GB has some flashy jerseys. Looks like a rainy clouded day in Great Brittain.
So awesome to see him living his dream out.
6:21 The Arenaado defense is perfect, a great player
@@hr5xz89ow I agree. he’s the best 3rd baseman I’ve ever seen and honestly might be the best to ever play the position.
@@hr5xz89ow Arenado was literally third in MVP voting last year
@@hr5xz89ow Judge has been pretty consistent. Other than when he’s injured.
Great Game! Go USA 🇺🇸 🦅
Go where? Also, why is it called the world series when there are only teams from north america in it? Shouldn't this be the world series? Celebrating a win over a country that doesn't even have a baseball stadium, is like being proud of winning a boxing match against a baby
@@solaflair I bet you’re fun at parties
@@solaflair bruh
@@solaflairmad America better
@@solaflair maybe its the world series in the North America because ummmm......after the world classics majority of the international players are in the US then?! 😂🤷🏽♂ MLB is a pretty diverse league filled with so many nationalities from all over the world, so what should it be called then? lol
WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!
I'm so proud of our team especially to hit a homer off the Americans,Trayce your my hero!
1776
13 colony lead
you guys cant beat us in anything
@@zerip9756 1812
I mean we obviously didn't use our best pitcher when you got 41yr old wainwright on the mound. But yet its not fair bc our country has such a big pool of players to choose from.
I was there at Chase Field for that game. Best experience ever. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Love Great Britain where I’m from😘 Thank you 🇺🇸
A SCHWARBOMB MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE!
Arenado and Goldschmidt also played a Great Role Tonight!
loved it when Schwarber said “it’s Schwarbin time” and Schwarbed all over the place
Nothing better as a Cardinals fan than getting to see the HOF corners hitting back to back in the lineup just like they do every game for us! Also shoutout MVP Goldy!!
This past WBC was the best baseball I’ve seen, I watched about every game didn’t matter the country. The energy at every game was outstanding
As a pirates fan, seeing bednar at the end fills me with so much pride. Gotta take advantage of it cause it's probably all I'm getting this season lol
This classic is showing us a high level
This line up is arguably better than a line up in an all star game. 1-9 absolutely loaded this US team is.
1:07 the fact that trea almost made it on a grounder to second is insane
it was a slow rolling
Does anyone’s bat move as violently as Kyle Schwarber’s? It’s insane to see
Harper. Fun times for Phils fans.
Only one I can think of is Jorge Soler.
Let’s go USA!!! 🇺🇸 These guys been waiting their whole lives to do this!
the WBC was a great idea, awesome to see it grow!
The Great Britain jersey might be the worst damn uniform of all time.
Canada’s are worse
I'm happy that the US stars are taking it seriously this time around, and wanting to represent us. Shame we couldn't get more of the top pitchers, but given the slew of ST pitcher injuries that have already occurred, I guess I can't blame them for being cautious.
at least the relievers are pretty top talent.
40k crowd lost to 17800 taiwanese crowd in terms of noise
Great Britain uniform looks like the 1st uniform you created in mlb the show that you dont care about making so you can just play the game.
イギリス前半意外と善戦してるな
Hello Hirohito have another burrito!!!!!
@@Mynipplesmychoice where you from？
What a good game for team USA
This year’s team is STACKED. Can’t wait to see them go up against Japan🙌
The batting yes, the pitching, not really. That's what I'm worried about. Team USA's pitching could be MUCH MORE stacked. They have lots of guys I've never even heard of.
Would be great if US vs DR
Trout vs Shohei would be a such showtime as dream yey
@@scuderia4187 Trout will strikeout
@@thefox47545 No No！ what I wanna watch is that Trout pitches against Shohei lol
Glad to see the uk putting in an effort against a giant opponent
Please can you brits stop copying everything we Americans do. And go play your European sports
@@jediknight3164 a) how are we 'copying' you and b) whats a 'european sport'?
Baseball was invented by British people and was played in England before the US was even a country, maybe it’s you that are copying us 😉
@@jediknight3164 hockey, made in the uk, tennis, made in the uk, golf, made in the uk, baseball, made in the uk, gridiron(american football), derived from rugby.
Tell me who's copying who now.
@@jediknight3164 Is this the only comment you got you Americunt. Stop speaking English then. Stop using the internet while your at it as we invented that along with baseball you spactard
4:05 “All the way over pool C” I understood that reference
Love you Trout! You got this!!
I’m British, didn’t even know we had a baseball team
GB players aren't native British, they are American by born
Bro these CZcams ads are actually crazy. 4 sets of ads on a 10 min video is nuts.
The real World Series
Celebrating while your down 5 runs is crazy ahahah
You know, I kinda expected GB to get absolutely murdered. But they weren't half as bad as I expected. Nice work GB
Mostly American Minor leaguers so they aren't bad.
@@Reagles8 against top mlb players? Great
Other than a few exceptions like Waino I think a lot of teams are going to do really well against USA's lackluster pitching squad.
I find it really weird that because Tracye Thompson's dad is from the Bahamas, which is a British colony/territory, that he automatically qualifies for the British National Baseball Team even though he grew up and and was born in California.
Bahamas has for some time been an independent country.
If being from a Commonwealth country is sufficient to qualify for Team GB, then why not a team of Canadians?
@@rajivmurkejee7498 exactly, Dominion of Canada was under British rule for a hot minute, so was India and a lot of other places around the world
I find it even stranger that team Italy has players named Fletcher and Harvey on their team! How Italian. I get they have some Italian heritage and they can play, but still strange to see. It’s not that fair when you have a team like Czech Republic made up of mainly all Czech players…and then a team like Italy. Would a team of strictly Italian players not be able to compete???
If you look at the rosters I bet team USA is the only team with the whole roster born and raised in the country they play for.
Great Britain baseball isn't as well funded as a lot of other baseball federations, so they're trying to recruit as many players as they can. and it's not like Trayce Thompson was going to make Team USA anyways, might as well try to play for another team if it works out
i don't understand why this is such a big deal for people. there used to be Brazilian players regularly playing for Japan in soccer as recently as 15-20 years ago.
Great effort by the British team against a solid lineup of big leaguers.
What a pleasure to watch without the stinking pitch clock!
I was here, awesome game, amazing atmosphere. Never seen that many people at Chase Field before
I forgot there was an atmosphere lol
@@CinephileSanityTV yeah , seeing the DR Venseula game makes I see the prespective
Most people there since '01.
@@plane216 2007, 2011, 2017
I mean Dbacks playoff games are packed
It is a pure baseball game.
I am British and I didn't even know we had a baseball team!Well done USA and congratulations GB on getting to the world cup! ❤❤❤❤
Please can you brits stop copying everything we Americans do. And go play your European sports
@@jediknight3164 well stop playing hockey, tennis, football(the one you use your feet in silly americans🙄)and baseball we made it lol
@@britishbaseballfan yeah this guys a fool he's written this same thing on about 20 diff comments 😂😂 mad rat
@@britishbaseballfan The irony, right? all 'uniquely' American sports are based on British ones 😂😂😂
@@johnniejay they didn't even make hamburgers or hot dogs bro ESPECIALLY APPLE PIE
This is what I expected out of the wbc but we still need a couple more pitchers out there. The Bats Showed up this year
Man Phoenix arizona getting some love. Super Bowl and world baseball classic
first time ever seen base ball magic been played. its just magic game.
I really, really liked the British humor. 👑
英國隊 好強喔 雖敗猶榮
能跟美國隊打成這樣就很不簡單
Wow that amazing
We’ll hopefully see a lot of Arenado driving in Goldschmidt like this here this whole season.
6 of the 9 starters for USA play for the Cardinals and Phillies!
Man shwarber shwarber he’s a beast wish he never left the Red Sox I miss him there with his grand slam in the playoffs lol he’s so fun to watch his bombs are different I swear this guy has the most power in the MLB I mean raw power idc if someone hits 100 home runs they ain’t hitting it as hard and as far as shwarber is he’s prob one of the strongest in the league or maybe his batting technique is just too good
Overall it was a stunningly good performance by GB
Amazing
UK baseball fan here....obviously a game we were never going to win against an absolutely stacked USA team....I'm hoping between the WBC and the London Series games over the next few years that baseball really starts to gain some traction here, it really deserves to. Greatest sport ever invented.
I'm definitely going to london
It’s amazing to see how much traction Baseball and American Football has grown in the UK. I was stunned watching. How many people there watched the Super Bowl. So it’s not just soccer anymore for England.
@@lisaroberts8556 The thing with the UK is that we have such a crowded sports market already. Think, geographically we're about 1/40th the size of the US, population wise about 1/6th the size....and we already have football, rugby, cricket golf, tennis, athletics etc. as our main sports. I think baseball can break through however, owing to the fact we are so crazy about sports here. Everytime the NBA, NFL or MLB comes to town, it sells out. Those leagues now need to do a better job of marketing the product when games aren't being held here.
Is it better than Cricket?
@@kng1122 I dont really like cricket, so yes.
If you watched the game live you could hear someone yelling schwarbomb right before Schwarber swung. It was kinda weird. I didn’t hear it at all before that. Also I think it was John Smoltz who said at the beginning of Scwarbers at that Schwarber has his eye on the pool in right field. Schwarber almost hit the ball into the pool lol.
I Love this baseball match
I watched it live and Kyles homer was a bomb
It bothers me that there are so many vacant seats in the stands even though the Dream Team of America is playing.
Tickets for the Japan national team are sold out not only for the main game but also for exhibitions.
Are Americans more interested in the NCAA March Madness than the WBC?
Let's go!!! 🇺🇸 🦅
Great to have Buck in the booth
Very good video, thanks for sharing 🙂
太有趣的對決了～
Who designed Great Britain’s jerseys Fr😂
Look's like Boston's grey Jersey.
Please can you brits stop copying everything we Americans do. And go play your European sports
@@jediknight3164 do you have nothing better to do than write this on every comment? Did a brit steal your girl or something why you so bothered 😂😂

goldys baserunning is so good
Good gosh arenado goldy punch right there at the top of lineup
Love to see Trayce in mid season form 👌🏽 let’s go Dodgers 😮💨😎
Man, the crowds in all other games were so intense and the one in this game was barely felt lmao y’all gotta step it up as fans
I don't get it to be honest. Is it the ego and expectation that you should win all time since you're the US. This is baseball where anything can happen. But I guess it shows the passion for baseball in other countries is on a whole other level compared to the US.
@@rasiel957 It's not the expectation that you win all the time, it is that you know the US will win and the real games start in the knockout rounds. Trust me, they will be up when they get to those.
Great Briton uniforms from 1890.
Congratulations
As expected, the US pitcher is the only weakness. ⚾🇺🇸
I love Wainwright but is that the best we could do?
I can't imagine Bett's life right now lol, he bowled in the U.S Open and now the World Baseball Classic 😂
The total players' salary of USA is about 350 million dollars, which equal to almost 290 million pounds.
The number is equivalent to the total salary of Manchester City and Chelsea in UK's premier league😮
Epic Tournament🎉❤
Fair play to team G B , gave the yanks a good game
Haven’t been this excited about a baseball in a while it’s going to be a great season
I literally never knew great britain even had a national team
Major props to Vance Worley
Peter Griffin with the spicy comments
its coming home 🤩🇬🇧
Please can you brits stop copying everything we Americans do. And go play your European sports
@@jediknight3164 bro you copy pasted the comment 💀
You've just got to love that the team USA players are taking this seriously! I'm very happy about there chances in this tournament.
for those that don't know, the UK doesn't give baseball anything. These guys scratched and clawed their way to this point. To lose to the US by only 4 runs is for us, like winning the entire thing.
Well, we did give baseball to baseball, does that count?
Your British soccer team couldn’t beat america in your own damn sport and your baseball team can’t beat america in our sport. Hold the L 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The cup of tea celebration lowkey went hard
Well that wasn't the slaughtering i was expecting. Well done GB .
exactly. it wasn't an absolutely overpowering win by the US, which most people expected, so well done GB indeed.
Still can’t believe trout struck out twice!!
