Every Country's First Goalscorer at the FIFA World Cup

Name the goal scorer for every (qualified) country's first FIFA World Cup goal. Year when the first goal scored (or debuted if none) is given as a hint.
Sorted by confederation they were in at the time of the goal (For example, Israel scored its first goal while in the AFC but are now part of UEFA)
Some countries no longer exist - If their history is simply carried into another country, they will be included into that country (i.e. West Germany to Germany, USSR to Russia). Otherwise, they are its own entry (i.e. East Germany, Czechoslovakia to Czechia and Slovakia, Yugoslavia to its successor states, etc.)
To prevent confusion, own goals do not count under any circumstance (i.e. East Germany's first goal was an own goal by Australia but it doesn't count to either nation)
