Congratulations to New Jersey on their win over Cuba
Ey they’re winning ‘ere 🇮🇹🍕🤌🏽
Is that a joke? Because Jersey Shore had a bunch of Italians on MTV like Vinny and others that the Italian team is from New Jersey which is where the show was filmed.
The team went on Italy on a beautiful trip before the season and visited family, famous sites etc so being Italian American Italian Canadian etc doesn’t mean anything and it’s awesome to see people repping for their family’s country. If these guys were so americanized they could’ve wanted to play for USA
Forget about it…… 😂
@@elmascavidal1797 huh
Love seeing baseball around the globe!
Agree, let it keep growing so the wbc could grow bigger
@@irvingcastillo2502 I say within the next 5-6 WBC it’ll be very very big
@@jeremytoro993 agreed!
Yes sir!!!! LETS GO BASEBALL!!!!
@@jeremytoro993 Yes sir !!! No reason why it shouldn't be growing by the minute!
Man, this (the WBC) is the most exciting baseball I've seen in a long time!!! Love it
No lie. Not one game yet there hasn't been incredible play from each team. Well, china was kinda lackluster, but Japan are monsters.
Agree
All the Latino teams are so exciting
I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy about baseball, to see all these countries playing the most exciting and beautiful sport in mankind.
It means more when you’re playing for your country
arguable
i think they can have more international game like this. i love watching competitive baseball games between countries it's a lot of fun.
hopefully now that the pandemic is at a lull they can go back to holding the WBC every 3 years
Sólo tuvieron suerte Cuba no está en su mejor momento solo esos
@@cloudyplacebo7456 Wish it were only 2 years
Would be awesome if baseball could become like soccer and develop champions leagues and more competitive international games
@@theedon501 Amen to that, cheers to that!
Italian Americans low-key have a big influence in Baseball and NFL. Joe DiMaggio, Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Joe Torre, Lombardi, Mike Pizzia, etc
Great call
And in boxing too...Rocky Marciano...Jake Lamotta...etc
Babe Ruth. the bambino the best
Vince Lombardi?
@@ernestodearmas9236 haha, Babe was German I believe
Congratulations Italy and Mike Piazza! never give up Despine and Moinero from Fukuoka, Japan!
🇮🇹 Italy showed attractive baseball. It's the best.
Congratulations to the Italian team for the win!
New York/Jersey team*
Italians? maybe. Italy? not even close hahahahahahaha
Italy's jerseys... kinda clean
I don’t know why they are blue though.
@@specialk9999 it’s a national color for them as well. It’s “Savoy Azure”. They use that color for sports all the time.
@@Rodri-gv8uf oh ok, thanks for the information.
@@specialk9999 forza azzuri
@@jahnj2523 what does that mean?
野球って本当におもしろい
Im glad to see great game and right now I really feel baseball level of quality is increasing around the world.
This tournament is the real world's series
New Jersey vs Florida was a tight game man
😂😂😂😂
LMAO
Hahahaha😆👍
😂
LOL
As an Italian American I’m very surprised. The Cuban national team is usually very solid and Cuba is an island of baseball. I would’ve expected Italy to get smoked.
Apparently the Italian team is mostly Italian Americans. Not that that changes how impressive the win was.
not the case in the last years
This is the cuba B team
@@fuego6565 lie
@@fuego6565 Luis Robert would never be on Cubas B team lol
Let’s go Italy!
Its not Italy! US😂
Let's go New Jersey
@@primaump863 their anchestor are italian
@@wushaocong8530 if you are born in US and whole life living there , are you italian?
@@primaump863 it is the same thought that people think about france...many people believe france is africa because many french players are black even though they were born in france
Seems suspect that the US basically has 4 teams in this tournament
USA PR Italy and Isreal?
😂😂🤣🤣
Puerto Rico might be a territory but we represent ourselves pal.
How?you do know we invented the sport and produce the best players so uuuuummm it would only stand to reason you would have alot of Americans on various teams
What planet do you guys come from?
Thats just simple COMMON SENSE
David Fletcher🙌🔥
Cuba needs Yordan Alvarez, Pito Abreu, and Yasiel Puig
Yuli gurriel, Nestor Cortez, yasmany tomas, chapman, José iglesias, aledmis Díaz. 💪🏾✌🏾😂
@@punto_incomodo Raisel tambien
No sé si puedan jugar para Cuba.
@@phillybeccio2782
Son muchos ✌🏾
What a game!
How does a great Latin American team like Cuba lose their first two games of the World Baseball Classic to two European teams???? My hat is off to Italy and the other team (was it the Netherlands?) for playing fantastic baseball!
The Netherlands is mainly Curacao and other Dutch overseas territories. Italy is almost entirely Americans of Italian descent.
Team Cuba isn’t like it used to be anymore. I don’t think it will be like 2006 team anytime soon. Baseball in Cuba is going downhill. Also, there’s not secret that some good players won’t make the Team cause the Cuban Regime THINK they will abandon it once overseas. So, there might be better players sitting at home watching just because of that.
2 very good European teams
Netherlands are for real
@@aatruesoldier Netherlands is constantly one of the better teams in the wbc
Nice to see Piazza staying busy and successful post-career. :)
whoa! Italy is on Fire. Love seeing the Fletcher brothers in one team😍
Grande Italia.
Vero
Dai Ragazzi
Congratulations Italiaaa 🇻🇪🇮🇹
Venezuela is my dark horse to win the whole thing. The only teams I think are better is US JAPAN and La República Dominicana
The more baseball becomes popular in Europe, The more international baseball will be.
Baseball is already dying in America. It will never be big in Europe
@@NoName-rq6bg yes I’m america but it’s extremely alive in south and Central America and Asia.. we still have hope for some revival
Baseball is dying? Grow up!
@@sirfallsalot2000 it is dying tho.. footbal and basketball are leagues more popular than baseball, I haven’t heard nobody talk about baseball EVER in person for ages and I recently went on TikTok and there was a guy on live Explaining the rules of baseball to ppl who just got into watching it ever since the WBC
forza italia!
Any American with a last name ending in a vowel should be really proud of their teams performance
🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Between a somewhat lackluster performance in the 2017 WBC, failure to qualify for the Olympics, landing last in the Premier 12, its domestic league champions reaching last in the most recent Caribbean Series, and now this, Cuban baseball is entering into a dark age.
Cuban baseball never really recovered since Castro banned professionalism in 1961. Sure, they were a powerhouse at the Olympic level, but they played against amateur teams. At the Caribbean Series and the WBC, however, they have to play against professional ball players.
Vengo del futuro ...estan en semifinales lol
La Sorsa's face after that K was great, homie was fired up.
Man I loved to see that
7:00 That scream was directed to the damn vuvuzela 😂😂
wow you have to think dominic fletcher and sal frelick are really upping their prospect status with these performances
so proud, greetings from Rome! hope to watch you here guys!!
I hope next year. MLB tv shows KBO or Nipon baseball. during the pandemic ESPN showed games from the Korean league. hopefully some network pick these games.
Infielder D. Fletcher of the Italian team is told that if he makes it to the quarter-finals, Shohei Ohtani's interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, will invite him to a fancy sushi restaurant in Tokyo.
It's probably one of the reasons for his success in this game.
I see😂lol
Andiamo Italia,sei un grande
Felicidades Italia y tanbien a Piazza tremendo cacher d los Mets . Saludos desde Cancun México. FROM CANCUN MÉXICO
Okay but the Luis Robert groundout at 1:10 wasn't to David Fletcher, they were shifted so it was the 2nd baseman, looks like Miles Mastrobuoni?
Cuba’s right fielder has an absolute cannon.
Fletcher is nice !
@7:28 that's one amazing play.
I can't believe Cuba lost both games but it's great to see Yoenis Céspedes, remember when he won the home run derby?
This game us mostly known for Matt Harvey facing Yoenis Cespedes in 2023
Let's go Italy
古巴輸義大利，真的難以想像。太精彩了。
Grandissimo
Buen partido. Enhorabuena Italia. Ánimo Cuba.
The WBC seems to be far more exciting than the MLB. There is obvious the lack of skills like we see in the big leagues (pitching/defense/power) but those small balls are definitely make it more exciting, like the traditional baseball.
Que humillación
We are so salty about missing the world cup we decided we want tor try and win the WBC LOL smh
Nice to see my fellow Italian Americans playing good ball lol.... 😆👍🇺🇸 🇮🇹
Vinnie P might have a pulled groin if these throws to him continue.
Fletcher out here looking like mario😂
That Cespedes miscatch gave me flashbacks
República Dominicana es la vuelta ❤️
Italians own baseball
...tiene aun posibilidades matematicas...si los demas equipos pierden tambien...
Damn Cuba, I’m shocked
Apperantly they didn't send they're best players because they didn't want them running away or something like that
That horn is low key annoying 😂
Ecco Il commento in Italiano che stavi cercando 😂
Vamos hermanos Cubanos, pero cuidado que Italia es good team 👍👏! World Baseball Clasic is amazing! I am waiting Dominican Republic Team 👍💪🔥👏🙏
😅😅😅😅😅😅
😅
Y que le paso a los Cubanos tan buenos jugadores que eran antes, un equipo caribeño perder de Italia es una humillación
Aún no puedo creer esa humillación
Así trae la dictadura a ese pueblo que ni en la pelota ganan 😅😅😅😅
Lo que les pasó fue comunismo por encima
Is that Negan pitching? Lol
Piazza!
Italy has a long history of baseball in Europe.
No surprise it won Cuba , the super baseball country😀
Felicitaciones Italia de un hijo de Italiano e n Venezuela
5:42, man in the front knows what he's doing
Olahraga yang bisa menghibur para penonton
Forza New York/New Jersey's Azzurri!!
めちゃくちゃ面白い試合やな、野球最高だわ
Cuba seething rn. Gonna be hard to make the knockout bracket from here
They might have to requalify if they finish last place. That's insane when they're a top 10 ranked country and team in the world of Baaeball. Their lineup was not good at all and they're missing top players. Their previous Cuban teams were much better and more competitive.
@@Melbester9 Cuban baseball has been a disaster in the last 10 years. They had a glimmer of hope with this team because they are all Major Leaguers, but moral is low. The team’s success is an ideological tool of the communist state and they know it.
@Orwell was right Yeah and I'm a Dominican 🇩🇴 who likes the Cuban leagues better than Dominican Winter Ball leagues. Relegation in play for 2026 WBC with 4 last place pool teams to requalify. They should expand from 20 to 24 teams after these two WBCs. Best WBC by far. The expansion from 16 to 20 teams made it better.
Canada and Mexico had to requalify at some point in previous WBC. China 🇨🇳 and Canada 🇨🇦 I see getting last place & England 🇬🇧 or Israel 🇮🇱. Nicaragua 🇳🇮 looking good in exhibition games and during qualifiers.
Seeing top teams requalify for next WBC in 2026 would make the main tournament and qualifiers better when they expand from 20 to 24 and more teams for future tournaments.
The Italians are probably eating melon and procuitt and drinking Chianti in the dugout
Shortstop from Italy is nice
Bravi ragazzi
Big win paisans...Cuba, que paso??? Enjoying the tournament!!!!
3:00 dude has an absolute canon
Cespedes remaking the World Series play😂
Congratulations on your first win in the World Baseball Classic, Italy. You learned well from Americans stationed there how to play Baseball.
😂😂😂😂😅
久しぶりに、マイク・ピアッツァを見た。
髪型が、変わったね！
In Cuba the whole system collapsing
Damn, Cuba
フレッチャー
日本から応援してます
So many beautiful, traditional Italian names on the team, like, Lorenzini, Passantino and of course Sullivan…
Paulie “ OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
Cespedes needs to get on his horse 🐎😉
WHAT A GAME!🔥🔥🤌🏾
How can Cuba , one of the most dominant nation can lose to a team like Italy!!!
They don't have Piazza😂.
But seriously, that's baseball. Anything can happen.
I’ve been saying this before the Classic, this Cuban team looks weak.
Cuba era dominante durante mucho tiempo antes del 2004 , después del 2004 solo han teñido equipos débiles
technically Italians were always good at baseball, plenty of Italian Americans from past, present, and now the future.
Because the all stars player's from Cuba either left the country or they are not allowed to play with Cuba.
Buena pelea hermanos cubanos ❤️🇲🇽
Loved to se The Dark Knight rising again
Lol Cespedes fell tf off. Unfortunate cause he was fun to watch when he looked like the future of the MLB.
El hubiera podido ser grande , si hubiese tenido disciplina
@@THEFUCKINGCAPO He had injuries too. Those two things hurt him
The better this Italian American team does, the more money goes to the actual Italian baseball federation which is good, but I want to see more real Italians out there. Tighten the heritage rule.
Where do ya find sauseech and peppas with some homemade gravy after the game? 🇮🇹
At this level ANY team can WIN !
“Calling all MLB players with 2% or more Italian DNA. Come play in the world baseball classic!”
Italy is sneaky good Ben delosio and Nicky lopez have proven themselves at the major league level
I hope vinnie didn’t get hurt
I'm glad they didn't incorporate any of the new rules. Just good classic baseball ⚾️ 👌
Is that David Fletcher the human vacuum playing infield? Who is that making those plays on the left side infield
how can i find the full match this league , is it free ?
Mike piazza mi respect 🫡
Italian baseball history！
