Now that Mexico and Texas are playing each other at the LLWS, will Republicans want to build a wall on the field? #Trump #UniteBlue

Mexico's long road to Sunday's third-place game started with a convincing 1-0 victory over Canada. Gerardo Lujano was credited for the win. Adversity immediately followed, as a 3-1 loss to Japan left Mexico on the brink of elimination.
The team responded with a string of dominant victories over Australia (14-3), Chinese Taipei (11-1) and Venezuela (11-0). Unfortunately, Japan remained an insurmountable obstacle, eliminating Mexico in the international championship.
West Pearland followed an eerily similar path.
The team from Texas opened with consecutive victories before succumbing to the talents of Red Land, Pennsylvania. Facing elimination, West Pearland also responded, defeating California in extra innings.
But like Japan in the case of Mexico, Pennsylvania proved to be too much for Texas.
I feel bad for Texas. They played such a great game and put their hearts into. Hopefully they beat Mexico! #LLWS
