Softball's back in 2020, and if it's USA vs. Japan in the finals again, you can bet that home crowd in Tokyo will be screaming!

[@joeyjerry2981]

ZhangtheGreat, true.

I will be screaming in my living room in Australia probably at a ridiculous hours, bless the Olympics

[@monchoman]

It isnt really a “shame”. Softball is not a very widespread sport in the world.

[@animeleek]

its basically a sport that the US allways try to get into olympics so they can send a Dream team of pro league player because they are basically the only one who plays it seriously

[@joeyjerry2981]

channelsurfer 122, I am very excited.

[@lucaskincanyon7393]

looks-like-kristoff yeah, it mainly kicked off because of gender equality and women rights. (In not saying it as a sexist, just stating)

[@Aang3lz]

Awesome bit of history as I am watching Ace of Diamond :) I hope they return for the next olympics

A 007 but they Don't Chuck the ball

[@pointless132]

Pretty ridiculous comparison. You are comparing a pitch thats done over hand and with a running start to a pitch that is thrown underhand and stationary.

The U.S. was undefeated and Japan had one loss in the Gold Medal game. They finished with the same record but not the same result. U.S. is still the best.
