Florida vs Texas (MUST WATCH, AMAZING USA CHAMPIONSHIP!) | 2024 LLWS Highlights

Yeah he lulled em to sleep on that home steal. That was beyond epic

[@JMaiRealEstateGuy]

Playing a team that kicked u out of the winners bracket so you grind your way back in elimin games just to come back and beat them to win the US chip. That’s awesome. FLORIDA!

[@santaclause3487]

Choke job

[@Bellend12345_]

Nah Texas should have that chance too every other tournament that has a losers bracket get a chance to redeem their loss but in LLWS you can't?????

[@augie2802]

I’ve never understood the bracket system in LL. One team doesn’t lose but then loses once and they’re out meanwhile the other got to go through a losers bracket and try to redeem thier loss. Happens every year, the team that loses the first matchup ends up winning the second and on the last game while the other is told to kick rocks even tho it was thier first loss. 😂

[@josecarlosgonzalez9446]

Regionals and LLWS, there is only 1 championship game. There is no if game. In District, Sectional, and state tournament, there is an if game.

[@drew7155]

So Texas beat Florida once already??

Number 26 of Florida has been doing great things on the base paths. You don't have to a total speedster to be a great base runner. 26 is a really good base runner.

Texas is a tough team to beat. Have watched Florida come back to win a few times now. Yes Taiwan is a solid team top to bottom, but these boys are 11 and 12 years old. Things happen when they are under pressure. Florida boys need to get some GOOD rest tonight and bring their best bats tomorrow. NEVER GIVE UP. Anything can happen. GO FLORIDA. UPSET Taiwan and bring home the TITLE to the good old U.S.A. Texas, dont hang your heads at all. Just getting as far as you did is one hell of an accomplishment. Proud of ALL OF YOU.

Everyone arguing Texas should have to lose 2 games smh, FL had already played 2 games by the time texas played ONE, coming into this game FL was 5-1, no other team in the tournament had 4 wins, then they beat a 3 win Texas team to become 6-1.....please stop crying, Fl earned this world series win.

[@67L48]

Do you not know how double-elimination tournaments work? Teams that lose will ALWAYS have to play an extra game to get into the championship game. That's just how the math works and one of the penalties of losing. It doesn't make a team better because they had to play an extra game. Ultimately, we have two teams that are both 1-loss teams, that both beat each other by 3 runs. For random fans like me with zero interest in either team, it's a real shame because we don't really have a clear best team. It's a tie and Florida basically gets the trophy on a coin flip. It would be better to play the actual 2nd game to make this a true double-elimination tournament.
