The full schedule is now online, prelim rounds begin next month for new teams or teams that didn't win a game in the '09 tourney.

Spain advances from the first pool, Canada plays Germany today in their pool's final.

If you're interested, the WBC is shown on the MLB Network.

The 1st round is done in the Eastern Hemisphere pools the Western Hemisphere cranks up today. The first game I will actually sit down and watch is Mexico@USA Friday night.

Epic brawl in Can vs. Mex this weekend! Don't tell me these players don't take the WBC seriously!
What did Mexico expect? Canada's national sport includes fighting.
Great game US @ Can to avoid elimination.

I find it interesting that 2 of the 3 European teams that qualified for the Classic are moving on the the 2nd round.

The Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico will be in the WBC finals. While I must agree that the best 2 teams are left, I am bitterly disappointed in what should have been a highly competitive US team. You could tell by their demeanor during games that this tournament means more to other countries than it does to the US players.

I have said it before, but when hockey was the subject. It's too bas everything comes down to a game or two, a hot pitcher or goalie can decide the entire tournament . It's too bad they couldn't have an international league that played 32 or 48, 60 games etc then decide have a 7 game playoff and decide the winner

I wish international baseball had club competitions like soccer, where the top teams from each league play in a tourney. I doubt it will ever happen, but if the leagues were serious about promoting the game globally that would be the way to do it.
