Note: Soooooo yeah...things happened and I wasn't able to get a post done Sunday, now I'm backloaded on material. Expect quite a few posts (by my standards) within the next 2 days.
I really don't know why the two groups in Division II start a week apart but in Division everything is in sync. Anyway here's a recap of Group B.
Division II - Group B (Host: Bulgaria)
Standings
1 (Promotion) - Belgium 5W - 0L - 15PTS - +38GD
2 - China 3W - 2L - 9PTS - +7GD
3 - Bulgaria 2W - 1OTW - 2L - 8PTS - -7GD
4 - Mexico 2W - 1OTL - 2L - 7PTS - -7GD
5 - Israel 1W - 1OTW - 1OTL - 2L - 6PTS - -3GD
6 (Relegation) - South Africa 0W - 5L - 0PTS - -28PTS
Belgium didn't have much of a challenge in earning a promotion. China started strong then slipped up in their last two games. Bulgaria and Mexico were models of inconsistency (and in a short tournament that's kind of impressive). The team of the tournament has to be Israel. All of there games were relatively close (final score was no more than a 4-goal difference) and it's surprising that a team low in the standings would finish with a near-zero goal differential. There isn' much to say about South Africa other than enjoy Division III next year.
