3rd division team meaning in soccer/ football?

Posted at: 2014-10-08 
My friend said to me, oh your soccer team got beaten by a 3rd division team!

But idk what a 3rd division team means!

Can u tell me? Be specific!

There are different levels of leagues in almost every country, starting from the lowest division to the top division. The top 3 in the lower division teams will be promoted to the next level of division, for example, Burnley was in the 2nd division last season in the English football league and they finished in the top 3, so now they are promoted to the premier league (1st division) this season. The bottom 3 of the league will be relegated to a lower league. I think what your friend was obviously talking about was the Man U vs MK Dons match. Man U is the top division team in this example, and MK Dons is the 3rd division (lower level league) team.
