Exclamation [Beijing Olympics] South Korea Advances to the Baseball Finals

My father and his friend was stoked when we found out that NBCOlympics.com were streaming the baseball match between South Korea and Japan live! NBC partnered with MSN Video and to view the streaming video, a new Microsoft plug-in called "Silverlight" needed to be installed on the browser. The streaming video was in high definition and high frames per seconds.

Any sports match between South Korea and Japan easily elevates the entertainment rating especially if you are a Korean or a Japanese. It has to do with our pride and our history of the two nations. I can bet that millions of Koreans and Japanese witnessed the glory (South Korea vs Japan 6-2 ) match that just ended August 21st US PST.

With the well deserving victory of the semi-finals, South Korea proudly advances to the final match with the winner from the U.S. versus Cuba match that is scheduled for the 22nd. Both the U.S. and Cuba are the best baseball teams in the world and a final match with either team will require South Korea to bring out the very best: flawless teamwork, zero errors, synergy (line drive after line drives)and a load of luck to the table. I have hope that the gold medal will be presented to Korea.

The gold-medal match is scheduled to play Saturday 3AM PST in the U.S. and there is a good chance that the match will be streaming live on NBCOlympics.com. I'll await for the great news when I wake up.
