A bit of what Team Colombia can do

Yeah this game promises to be very fun. Both Colombia and Canada are good teams that can deliver a good game. 

We got Team Canada lineup

What do you guys think? Can these guys take a win today? 

Yeah this is movie stuff

What do you guys think of this performance? Maybe we’ll see something similar today. 

Tournament MVP?

Will Ohtani be the MVP this time around? He is the best player in the MLB so it would be no surprise if he takes the award home. 

A bit of history of Team Canada

Team Canada is not a top team when it comes to the WBC but maybe 2023 is the year that this changes. They started well by beating the Brits. Colombia is tough team, but Canada can win this one if they keep to their strengths. 

Little rough?

Can Canada comeback from this loss? This could be the type of games that can mess up a team’s morale. Colombia should take advantage of this. 

What a moment for WBC history!

Strike out three MLB stars, get a professional contract at a parking lot. Unlock new achievement. That’s exactly what happened last night. Nicaragua’s pitcher will now be heading to play for the Detroit Lions. What movies are made of. 

What do you guys think?

Can Noah bring a win home? Canada and Colombia are both evenly match. You won’t want to miss this one.
