World Cup baseball: Holland beats 25(!)time world champion Cuba with 4-1 and go to the final!!  
The first time in the history of the tournament that a European team has reached the final!!  :blink:

:rocker:

Cuba themselves still can also still reach the final, and Canada has a big chance as well.

So we'll meet Cuba in the finals instead of Canada, unfortunately. I don't think I can see it (starts at midnight Dutch time) but tomorrow morning I'll know what the result will be.  :)
 
Anyone else follow the rugby world cup?

Australia VS NZ is later day, its the semifinal :)
Probably the worlds two best teams.

The match was delayed, 4 hours. If I knew this I could have seen the end. :)

The Netherlands are World Champions with baseball!  :yey:
They won 11 out of 12 matches in the tournament. Super!
