  4. Holy crap Italy.
    I knew they were stacked from pool play but I didin’t know they were this stacked.

  6. Hey maybe Team Italy is just on fire and Nolan McLean’s stuff still graded well. 8 runs already is insane

  10. Oh my god enough with the espresso references. I’ll settle for pizza and pasta jokes at this point!

  11. Honestly Italy is so fucking good it would be hilarious if their most recent successes in sport would be from Baseball instead of european football

  14. I’m an Italian-American. I’m wearing my Team Italia Piazza jersey from last tournament. I love this team.

    Can we shut up about the fucking espresso already?

  19. As a mixed Mexican/Puerto Rican , i’m not eating italian food for the rest of the fucking year.

  21. All you had to do was bring in Fernando Cruz, and none of this would’ve happened 🤷‍♂️

  23. How are we two hours into this game and it’s only the 4th inning. I hope PR gets mercy ruled just so the game doesn’t last so long haha

  28. Rn I’m hoping for DR vs Japan final, but I wouldn’t mind Italy on a Cinderella run

  33. Hopefully everyone claiming America’s performance this Classic is disappointing is watching this game very closely

  34. They got shaken by Canada, and now they’re getting shaken by Italy?

    Worst thing could happen is getting mercy rule’d.

  37. I’m not watching the game but I watched the fan interference clip. Anyone who is mad at that fan is weird. Pretty much anyone who would bring a glove would do that out of instinct rather than something intentional.

  38. Thank god Italy is cutting PR’s head off, PR and DR (especially the fans here in NYC) have been unbearable and crazy cocky. They needed some humble pie.

  40. It was revenge for Billy Batts, and a lot of other things. And there was nothing that we could do about it. Italy was a made man, and PR wasn’t. And we had to sit still and take it.

  46. Italy winning the World Baseball Classic and failing to qualify for their third World Cup in a row would be hilarious
