World Cup 2015 : relative representation
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2015 12:46 pm
Hello,
I've used this data on games played over the last couple of years to work out which nations have sent the best representation to the World Cup relative to the perceived size of their scene.
Italy - 13.0% of games played vs 30.6% of teams at WC 2015
France - 16.9% of games vs 21.5% of teams
Spain - 16.0% of games vs 13.9% of teams
UK - 14.9% of games vs 8.3% of teams
Germany - 7.0% of games vs 5.6% of teams
Belgium - 3.8% of games vs 2.1% of teams *
Netherlands - 1.4% of games vs 0.7% of teams
Austria - 0% of games vs 1.4% of teams *
Switzerland - 0.4% of games vs 1.4% of teams
Portugal - 0% of games vs 1.4% of teams
Denmark - 1.4% of games vs 5.6% of teams
Sweden - 2.9% of games vs 2.1% of teams
Hungary - 0% of games vs 1.4% of teams
Canada - 3.0% of games vs 0.7% of teams
United States - 8.5% of games vs 1.4% of teams
Australia - 6.0% of games vs 1.4% of teams
New Zealand - 1.0% of games vs 0.7% of teams
I wasn't going to include non-European teams here as their attendance is purely a coincidence of geography and it seems mean spirited. But actually they have smashed it in a relative sense, so well done guys!
* Eurobowl games removed.

Just a bit of fun. The huge Italian presence has distorted the numbers I guess, but well done guys! Who knew there were 264 Italian NAF members! Other than than the best showings were from France and Denmark, and the worst from the UK. Special mention to New Zealand who have almost matched their representation despite having the furthest to travel!
