Qualification for the 2026 World Baseball Classic has been announced. There'll be 2 qualification Pools and 4 teams in each with the top 2 teams in each pool advancing to the 2026 WBC. :AUS:CZE:CAN:CUB:DOM:GBR:ISR:ITA:JPN:MEX:NED:KOR:PAN:PUR:USA:VEN

 

As a fan of international baseball, words cannot describe how disappointed I am. We are coming off arguably the greatest international baseball tournament in history in 2023 and we are cutting the number of teams in the qualification round from 12 to 8 teams :facepalm:. How do you expect to grow baseball like that? Teams like :ARG Argentina and :PAK Pakistan have been on the rise but now they won't have the chance to qualify.

 

 

Taipei Qualification Pool (Feb. 21-25, 2025)

:NCA Nicaragua

:RSA South Africa

:ESP Spain

:TWN Taiwan

I would expect a competitive game that could go both ways. 

 

Nicaragua will be riding the momentum from their 2-0 start to qualification and their pitching has been great so far.

 

Taiwan should be the favorite but for some reason, they decided to not select a bunch of players that were on the team that won the Premier 12 tournament and opted for younger players. However, the home crowd will be a huge advantage for them still.

    • That should be one of the main things that should be kicked out of both Winter and Summer Olympics. Every single athlete should at least have the chance to compete after the Olympics are actually declared open.
    • If you didn’t know it was figure skating you would think  Kulewska was in gymnastics with his bodysuit  
    • Yes in Slopestyle,    but there athletes who will not compete after the Opening Ceremony, let be honnest if POL as expected will not qualify to the final rounds their Ice Dance Pair will end their competition at the Olympics before the Opening Ceremony    Same is at risk for the French Pairs and Japanese Ice Dance pair, but here we can expect they qualify in the team event among the final 5 teams though  
    • Lots of mistakes by Switzerland, but our guys are finally playing the way they know how to. 3–0 after the first end.
    • Oh sadly us Canadians know too much about that   Just look at Gilles’ and Porier’s performance at the Finlandia Trophy and tell me how they didn’t win gold, there was so much outrage after that 
    • Moncler has announced 's clothes for the opening ceremony. They are....well, something, I suppose. For rain coats they look quite nice.   Flag bearers get the white ones, Bruna the dark version with the, I don't know...hat?   https://www.instagram.com/p/DUaIyN1DExb/

    • It’s simply the only skating event where jumps don’t matter, only choreography. And how much you bribe the judges matters too.
