Wow, the US isn't dominating that much. Canada beat them , the Japanese had a bad call against them to lose and Korea is leading 6-1 in the 5th. I know that they don't have the A team out there but this surprises me.

I've been watching a bunch of it and from the way things are going it's been very unpredictable with just about all of the teams. It seems there are more surprises in the outcome of games than not. I mean Panama almost beating Cuba, South Africa almost beating Canada, Korea beating Japan and you look at round 2 in pool 2 and everyone one is at 1-1 and there is no clear top team at all. You also look at Korea and they are at 2-0 in round 2 so far after going 3-0 in round 1, so they are looking very strong.

Ya, in a short elimination round even having a good record won't guarantee you anything if like Canada, you have a game where you're blown out and then you don't get to the second round. Such is life.
