2006 World Cup Divisions

[lukeoz]

Does anyone have an idea of how the divisions have been created for the forthcoming world cup? I can see that the blue division contains the top six countries, but the red, orange and yellow divisions seem to be more mixed than separated by seedings / rankings. Does anyone out there know?

Yeah, but what's the point of separating the elite teams from each other.......No one needs to see 21-4 type games where US/Canada/Iroquois/Australia beat up on, say Japan.

Thanks,

I didn't actually look at how the divisions were aligned.

If this is true, edit my last post to

What I am trying to suss out is whether there is any system to the grouping of the teams in the other divisions, or are they randomly placed? Stronger teams such as Germany, Czech and Scotland are each in of the three lower different divisions.

Interesting to see Bermuda there. I didn't know they even played lacrosse!

Look out for Finland at the Worlds. Will be stronger than you think!
