As we can see - none from 1st Group was eliminated so they may widen this group neither Thailand, nor Dominican Republic are here and with Belgium it gives 13 teams... (maybe one of teams won't play ?()
mweanwhile Croatia, Bulgaria and Czech Republic were promoted to 2nd group, while Cuba and Peru dropped to 3rd Group. And we have Colombia
maybe one team from 1st Group decided to withdraw
