Never seen Ohtani being so emotional after the double. Something was about to happen. Just when Murakami hit the game-winning double, I got goosebumps, knowing that the dream match-up Team USA vs. Samurai Japan IS GOING TO BE REALIZED!!

Soy Mexicano, pero el equipo de Japon estava lleno de super estrellas. Fue un honor perder contra Japon. Tienen el mejor judagor de todos los tiempos, en Ohtani. En la historia de el Baseball, nunca se ha visto un jugador tan bueno como Ohtani. Es generacional. Es una bestia. Fue un partidazo. El nivel de baseball que se miro en esta copa fue increible.

Soy de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 y se exactamente que se siente llegar donde Mexico llego, nosotros tuvimos esa oportunidad Dos veces en las pasadas ediciones y nos quedamos corto de ir a finales. Es imposible no sentir emociones, es imposible no celebrar de eso se trata. Tengo un amigo Mexicano que me dijo que nosotros empezamos a celebrar demaciado temprano como si ya huviecemos ganado el juego ante Mexico, yo le dije: hermano asi somos lo hicimos con Dominicana🇩🇴 y lo hicimos con 🇻🇪 y con Mexico 🇲🇽 no seria la exepcion, pero NUNCA subestimamos a Nadie y mucho menos a Mexico, por algo llego donde llego. Vi a Mexico celebrar celebrar cuando anotaron sus primeras 3 carreras y celebraron porque HAY QUE CELEBRAR de eso se trata esto no es futbol donde con tres goles es casi seguro una victoria en baseball no hay nada escrito. El chamo me llamo para disculparce, YO DIJE HERMANO NO HAY NADA QUE DISCULPAR CELEBREN DONDE LLEGARON PUES DE ESO SE TRATA. FELICIDADES 🇲🇽 POR REPRESENTAR EL ULTIMO BASTION LATINO. OTRO JUEGASO.

I really saw how Ohtani is not only a leader on the field but in the dugout too. Even when they were down 3-0 he was willing his team to win, I respect that.

What an amazing game of baseball. As a Red Sox fan, it was fun seeing Yoshida hit a clutch game-tying blast and then Verdugo giving Mexico the lead with an RBI double. What a win for Team Japan! Excited for the championship!

this was a remarkable win; both teams deserved to advance 🇯🇵 🇲🇽 one thing, however; Arozarena and a few others for mexico seemed a bit cocky all night- while the japanese remained composed; you can be up 3-0 in the 7th inning and display your confidence and feel you have it in the bag but don’t underestimate the opponent and remain humble; celebrate when the battle has been won. thank god for baseball. greetings from quebec 👋🏻
