Great quiz! I've come to collect my Gold star and point out that Syria would've advanced to the play-offs in 2018 even if they had beaten Australia, so that year shouldn't be there

If they had beaten South Korea, they would have gone through automatically.

Damn, true. They were really close, would've really been something if they made it

Especially given the context in the country at the time, it would have been an inspirational story of a national team overcoming all odds to qualify for the greatest football tournament.

I think ukraine could be on this list in 2014? was the highest ranked team not to qualify for the brazil WC after losing the knock-out tie to france (2-0 home win 3-0 loss) unless they'd be counted in the ussr teams
