Showing Some International Love: It's Division I Time Y'all

That's right, time to move on up...all the way to the tier below the actual championship. I'm going to two-part this, so here is Group A.

Note: Since the earthquake that hit Japan last month is still showing effects, Japan has withdrawn from competition.

Division I - Group A (Host: Hungary)

World Rankings:
16. Italy
20. Hungary
25. Netherlands
30. Spain
33. South Korea

Predictions:
1 (Promotion) - Hungary
2 - Italy
3 - Netherlands
4 - South Korea
5 (Relegated?) - Spain

More hope than going by stats, but I can see 2 possible upsets (if you want call them that). Just comparing the rosters, and with a relatively weak group, Hungary might be able to earn a promotion back to the top tier. It wouldn't be surprising though if Italy earns it instead. Netherlands is a middle of the pack team, highly unlikely there will be any surprises. South Korea might be able to play well enough to stay up another year. Not going to put anything past Spain though, they might be able to pull off a win or two but I see them going down to Division II.
