Major League Baseball is happy after the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/World-Baseball-Classic-2023-Schedule-and-Free-Live-Stream-20230308-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2023 World Baseball Classic</a> met all expectations and much more during this edition. The decision not to hold the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb/World-Baseball-Classic-2023-How-much-do-the-champions-get-20230321-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tournament</a> in 2020 was the best for WSBC and MLB.
Unfortunately United States were unable to defend their 2017 title and lost to Japan 3-2 in what was the best game of the entire tournament.
The biggest favorites went as far as they could, only a ‘small’ team, Cuba, could reach the knockout stage (semifinals) where they were eliminated by United States.

 Most of the 2023 WBC teams are expected to play in the upcoming tournament, but it is likely that some teams will be replaced by another national team. March (Spring)is the perfect date to play the classic because the MLB season would already be over, but at the same time it tends to be a somewhat dangerous date due to injuries a few weeks before the start of the new MLB season.

But the Japanese have a little secret that makes their baseball system on the same level as the United States, they share the same passion and respect for baseball.
During the 2023 World Baseball Classic the Japanese were lethal in the group stage and it was likely that they would reach the final after a little over 10 years.
<h2>What is the secret of the Japanese to be so good at playing baseball?</h2>
The Japanese do not have a secret, they are good at playing baseball since they have a system similar to the United States, in Japan there are minor leagues so that the youngest players finish polishing their skills and climb to the ‘majors’.
Baseball arrived in Japan in 1872, it was an American who brought baseball to the country, Horace Wilson. In the 20th century, the Japanese government added baseball to schools as part of the sports curriculum, and many fans of the sport became members of the government and continued to expand baseball in the country throughout the 20th century.
High Schools and College teams are the main core of baseball in Japan, similar to the United States, schools have baseball teams that play in leagues and tournaments.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Qatar-2022-How-far-haveJapan-gone-at-a-FIFA-World-Cup-20221201-0049.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japan</a>are having an historic run at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-the-29-top-scorers-in-the-fifa-world-cup-history-20220312-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2022 World Cup</a> thanks to their victories over Germany and Spain in the group stage. Part of Japan’s great run is their manager Hajime Moriyasu, who has been in charge of the national team since 2018, while also coaching the U23 team for the Olympics.
Moriyasu, who is a former midfielder, has been coaching since 2013, and has won the J1 League three times with Sanfrecce Hiroshima, as well as the Japan Supercup. He was appointed as the Japan U23 coach to prepare them for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
He led <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/qatar-2022-what-is-japan-current-fifa-ranking-20221123-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japan</a> to the 2019 AFC Asian Cup Final, but it was defeated 3-1 by Qatar. It was their first defeat at a continental final. However, in the World Cup, his team has been a black horse. Here, check out how much he earns as Japan’s coach.
<h2>Hajime Moriyasu’s salary as Japan’s coach</h2>
Moriyasu is one of the best paid coaches of the World Cup. According to Express UK, he earns £910k, which is the equivalent of a little more than $1 million. The best paid coach of the tournament is Germany’s Hansi Flick with $5 million.
If Japan qualify to the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup, it would be their first time doing so. Obviously, it would add more value to their already great tournament. If you want to know the possible results, check out the World Cup simulator.

While not as flashy as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Qatar-2022-World-Cup-Knockout-Stage-Bracket-Schedule-Dates-TV-Channel-and-Predictor-20221129-0033.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brazil</a>, France, orEngland, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Japan-vs-Croatia-TV-Channel-how-and-where-to-watch-or-live-stream-online-free-Qatar-2022-World-Cup-in-your-country-20221204-0029.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Croatian</a> team has sure made a name for itself over the past couple of years. They’re even the reigning FIFA World Cup runner-up after their impressive performance in Russia.
Croatia got off to a slow start to the group stage with a tie with Moroccobut then bounced back in a big way to beat Canada. Then, they nearly beat Belgium in the final match of the group stage, but a tie was enough to move forward.
Controversies aside, <a href="http://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Japan-vs-Croatia-Who-will-be-the-referee-for-the-World-Cup-round-of-16-match-20221204-0052.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Japan</a> did an outstanding job of clinchinga spot in the Round of 16. They came back to beat Germany, lost to Costa Rica, and then put the cherry on top of the Sundae by knocking down Spain.

But, all things considered, even oddsmakers agree that Croatia should be favored ahead of this game. That hasn’t meant a lot to Japan in the past, but the truth is that the European side should win this matchup.
Should that be the case, then Croatia would move forward to the quarterfinals. There, they’d face the winner of the winner between Brazil and South Korea. Japan, on the other hand, would be eliminated from the competition and sent back home.

Clearly, this is a team that’s not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the most prominent teams on Earth.
<h2>Qatar 2022: What If Croatia And Japan Tie In The Round Of 16?</h2>
One doesn’t have to be a savant to realize that this game could be closer to what most people think. Neither side has a big edge over the other, although oddsmakers slightly favor the Croatian side.
So, if this exciting game ends in a tie in the first 90 minutes, both teams will get a five-minute break before going back to the pitch for an additional 30 minutes, divided into 15-minute halves.
Should they still be tied at the end of overtime, then the winner will be settled with a penalty shootout. Each team will get at least five chances to score from the penalty spot. If both teams are still tied after that, teams will continue to get one kick each until the tie is broken.

There is no longer any doubt that the big surprise of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/qatar-2022-the-29-top-scorers-in-the-fifa-world-cup-history-20220312-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Qatar 2022</a> is Japan. The Asian team had a really difficult group, which they shared with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar2022/Thomas-Muller-makes-tough-decision-after-Germanys-elimination-from-World-Cup-2022-20221201-0061.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Germany</a>, Spain (two world champions) and Costa Rica. They started by winning against Germans, and then lost to Costa Rica. Everything seemed lost, but a great victory against Spain gave them a pass to the round of 16.
Croatia had a quiet group stage. They did not suffer more than necessary to qualify, but they did not have a brilliant performance either. They did what was just and necessary to take second place in a group that Morocco won brilliantly. They are also a complicated team, and if Japan is careless, they can pay dearly.
<h2>Head-to-head of Japan and Croatia</h2>
These two rivals have met in a total of 3 games throughout history. One of them was in a friendly in 1997, with a 4-3 victory for Japan. The other two were in World Cups: Croatian victory in France 1998 by 1-0 and draw 0-0 in Germany 2006.
