>>74579585
which is ironic because their only good player is actually Mexican

ha there's asian Australiaboos

>>74579585
I'm aware of that. I played baseball a fair bit when I was younger and there are plenty of leagues over here (cricketers tend to play it a lot too) but our record at this tournament is shithouse, and to even get close to the top ranked side in the world is an achievement.

Looking at this and the lineups Korea has put out almost none of their top hitters are even playing. Is the manager retarded or something, or the player selectors


oh there's that chinese outfield

>>74579715
Anyone in the Chinese outfield

>>74579704
What's a bigger joke than not doing well at a sport you're supposedly the best at? Unacceptable.

>>74579698
not by pool B, they'll probably make the semifinals, them or the netherlands

if they make the semis it's certainly not likely they beat a team like DR or USA but it's baseball so who it could happen

>>74579736
see us in the ifaf world cup m8

>>74579736
We just invented the sport, not necessarily the best at it. Look at England and soccer

>>74579752
>tfw I could be good in an IFAF game and I havent played football in over 8 years

But the American team has underperformed of course

>>74579798
>yfw they bring up their olympic medals
kek, literally China tier, pumping money into meme sports absolutely no one cares about and they think it makes them a great sporting nation. fucking China, even India is better.
>gooks

oho my god the bat girls are so fucking cute in this stadium
god bless Japan

Do sports get added as Olympic sports purely based on how well USA does at them? Will >we
ever get free Gold medals for shit like netball?

>>74579800
that qt Indian sideline reporter could probably replace most American NFL sideline reporter girls

>>74579822
That's probably more of Japan's doing since their major league will stop for the Olympics while MLB won't even let players on a 40-man roster on

>>74579822
>implying we're good at baseball tournaments
it was obviously japan that got baseball back into the olympics just in time for tokyo

besides plenty of swimming medals for the both of us

>>74579822
Baseball is Japan's biggest sport by far, why wouldn't it be added to Tokyo 2020

How long would it take for the Australian handball team to get good enough to go to the Olympics to partake in all the orgies? How many Olympians have qualified just for that intent?

>>74579840
>>74579841
I'm talking more about cheerleading and shit which I can't even believe is in discussion.

>>74579822
You had Swimming as well until Thorpe retired.

>>74579837
>Nippon League is pausing for Olympics
Well fuck, how far before the Olympics are they breaking? My best friend and I are planning on going to the Tokyo olympics and for the 2 weeks before as well, wanted to catch some comfy Japanese luckswing while we were there.

>>74579854
it's physically demanding as fuck (think synchronized swimming)
but yeah that seems pretty silly

>>74579856
They'd probably stop the games anyway once they heard the smelly uncultured American gaijin shouting DEFENCE OOOH OOOH DEFENCE and voiding their bowels loudly.

are we still good at surfing and skateboarding?

and who the fuck is good at sport climbing

>>74579883
only people who can beat us at surfing is Australia
Skateboarding will mostly be us
Climbing is all us

>>74579883
We have Nyjah Huston to carry us to Skateboarding gold. I'm pretty sure it's park, not pipe.

>>74579895
>Only people who WILL beat us

They'll fucking choke again, though I know it. Like twice in a row for BMX. Like constantly for hockey. Like Pullin in the snowboarding.

>>74579895
what, no

brazil is elite at surfing

and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFSC_Climbing_World_Championships
almost no USA flags anywhere, and the few there are were in the 90s

don't know shit about skateboarding

>>74579921
you must not know how the olympics work
USA always wins with meme events

>>74579944
what? are you fucking stupid

the US wins three things, swimming, athletics, and gymnastics. Plus basketball of course

we win the occasional meme sports just because of our large population we're bound to have some people who are good enough and rich enough to compete at something else, but the meme events are dominated by the few meme countries that happen to care about them or by the countries that pump government funding into them (china, britain). no one else cares enough

we win shit that actually kind of matters

>>74579856
>going to the olympics in person

but how are you supposed to watch 4 events at once?

>>74579343
Tae kwon do involves a lot of that, using your front leg as ballast to add momentum to a strike. I'm never surprised to see Koreans do it in any other physical activity, TKD is basically the national sport.

>>74580024
Watch them when NBC broadcasts them later that night :^)

>>74580026
that's like saying you're not surprised if you see a japanese man arm thrusting like a sumo wrestler

this >>74579343 is weird as fuck, faggot

Baseball is really the most patrician sport

>>74580026
I listen to kpop and watch korean dramas and movies but at least I'm not a faggot koreaboo like you

>>74580059
More Koreans practice TKD than Japanese who practice sumo. It's part of their mandatory military training. Not saying it isn't out of place in baseball, just saying I'm never surprised to see Koreans do it.

>>74580077

>>74580164
you'd be beloved, Americans adore foreigners who try to get into our sports

>China

>>74580164
Of course not. Plenty of European tourists go to baseball games in tourist towns without knowing much about the team or sport. You'll probably even meet people willing to discuss the game and their team with you.

Maybe if you go to a hillbilly hick town you *might* be harassed by someone drunk enough, but if you go to a cosmopolitan city you'll be just another welcome visitor.
