Both the Philippines and the US had already meet earlier in the week as they were in the same B pool. In that meeting, the US took the Philippines 11-8, but that was a number of days ago. Going into the the championship division, the Philippines upset Canada 10-9 and then again upset Italy (the #1 seed in the bracket) 13-4 the day before the championship game. Both teams would be rested and it was going to for sure be a great game.
