Japan falls to Taiwan's late magin

The tournament has quickly turned into a two-team race, with Team Taiwan and the United States clearly superior to the rest of the field. Both squads expect to remain undefeated (4-0) heading into today's showdown in the final game of the preliminaries. The team that wins round one of the showdown will undoubtedly have the edge, as they will definitely meet again in the medal round later this week.
