Originally posted by Unregistered View PostD1 teams are a lot better and there is actually competition on who wins each year. D3 is better than D2. If u are telling me a division 2 team could have beat Brockton or any other top division 1 team then u are just flat out wrong. I agree that is not the kids fault that they go to a smaller school but stop all this nonsense about division 2 and 3 schools being able to compete with division 1.
But carry on with your naive thinking.

And small countries like Croatia and Iceland should be all crap. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with quality over quantity, can it?
But carry on with your naive thinking.

Also if you think Iceand has quality you clearly have never seen it. They are big brutes that boot the ball up. Anyway, one thing you are right about is quality over quantity!!! And if you have ever been to the state tournament for different divisions you can clearly see the difference in quality.
"Are you really that ignorant to think any division 2 team could beat the top d1 teams like Brockton."
No. But that could be said about "any" division 1 team, too. The top D2 teams are very good, and yes, some of them could beat good D1 teams like Brockton, St. John's Prep, Lexington, LS, Needham, etc. on any given day. Just because a school is classified as D2 based on enrollment doesn't automatically make it inferior to D1-classified schools. That's just plain stupid to think that way. Again, China has 1.6 billion people.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou are clearly missing what I am trying to state. The top D1 schools are better than the top division 2 and 3. Yes on occasion the top division 1 teams could lose but that is in any sport. And for your national team analogy you can not compare towns in Massachusetts to countries. But anyways which country has the most world cups...Brazil. Brazil is a top 5 largest country. So once again ur argument is flawed.

Just a question can't d2 schools move up to play in the d1 tournament?
Higham did it on the girls side. Just asking if that is true then why wouldn't the d2 teams that think they are good move up? That would solve the issue.

Is it safe to say that the bell shaped curve of division 1 lies to the right of the bell shaped curve of division 2 and division 3? It is the case is all other sports so why would soccer be an exception?

The bell shape is the average or median and standard deviation.
For example it doesn't mean that division 2 might not have the fastest 800 meter runner, it only means that the average or median runner is faster in division 1.
Name the sport where the bell shape is better for a lower division.
