World Baseball Classic

I warned you that this was coming.

16 teams have been reduced to 8 so far. Starting on Saturday those 8 teams will begin playing in two separate pools with 2 teams from each pool advancing to the semifinals.

Pool 1:
Japan
Korea
Mexico
Cuba

Pool 2:
Netherlands
Venezuela
United States
Puerto Rico

Tell me three things.

1) Which two teams will advance from Pool 1? (2 points per correct team)
2) Which two teams will advance from Pool 2? (2 points per correct team)
3) Which team will eventually go on to win the WBC? (10 points)
