england, wales, scotland, and norther ireland all have different federations and national teams for FIFA based tournaments, OK, so, no he should not accept UK because therefore that would deem the quiz incorrect and we would have another slew of people arguing about it...

The UK does not have a football/soccer team. There are separate authorities that cover the four constituent parts of the UK, and it is those four separate authorities (i.e. football associations) that are members of FIFA. That's why the England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have listed on this quiz. The quiz is asking for teams who have played in the World Cup, not for sovereign nations (FIFA has a number of other members who enter the World Cup that aren't sovereign nations, e.g. Faroe Islands, Aruba).

I think you should tell people in the directions that former countries like Yugoslavia and East Germany count. I missed both because I thought that it was only countries that still exist. Also, you should tell people that the united kingdom is not included but its subparts are. I missed Wales, Scotland and England because of it.

No Berney, it really really isn't. The four home country associations have always played as separate teams and are the four oldest national football associations in the world. They were playing one another in international fixtures for over fifty years before the World Cup was even thought of.

Level 85
Jun 10, 2014
Instead of "West Germany", one should always say "Federal Republic of Germany"... The 1990 reunification was not the creation of a new state but the integration of East Germany in the Federal Republic. Thus the quiz is indeed right.

FIFA officially recognises 'Germany' as the successor to 'West Germany' (much in the same way Russia is the successor to the Soviet Union team) and so it is viewed as the same team. East Germany on the other hand was not succeeded by another team.

Some people are complaining because UK is not accepted, or that they didn't realise the quiz accepted now non-existant countries. Those people don't know anything about football or the World Cup.The quiz isn't for those people. It's for people who may not be able to remember all 78 answers, but who do know that the British teams compete independently and during the Cold War there were different countries.

I think that you should make Serbia (& Montenegro) and Yugoslavia as one. Both the FIFA and the uefa consider Serbia the successor of Yugoslavia. And if you check the facts for the Serbia team, they also take the Yugoslav results into account. It's the same situation as with Czech/Czechoslovakia, Russia/USSR and Germany/west Germany when considering football

Does India just not have any interest in soccer? One would think that, by sheer force of population numbers, it would have had a few major talents to carry it through to the tournament at least once or twice. The Asian field is not as competitive as others are. Very interesting.

India is, as I write this, the biggest country (both by size and population) to never have competed in the final stage of a FIFA World Cup. Interestingly enough, India qualified for the 1950 Cup in Brazil but withdrew, leaving the group C with only three teams. Indian players were used to play barefoot as they did in the Olympics two years prior.

But FIFA banned barefoot play for the 1950's WC so legend has it that's the reason why India pulled out. However, financial reasons and travel costs might have played a bigger role in the team's decision...

I believe the Round 1 label is misleading. I think all Round 1s should say something to the effect of Group Stage and Round 2s should say Round 1.

South Korea best participation was fourth place in 2002 WC. Never been third place. Serbia has never passed the group phase, so it's very misleading to place their best participation as round 2.

This quiz isn't guessing countries - it's guessing teams. There's other FIFA teams that aren't countries - Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, Tahiti etc. I think that goes without saying as a sports quiz rather than geography.

Both FIFA and UEFA consider Serbia to be the direct and sole successor of the Yugoslavia team. The same applies to Russia in the case of the USSR and the Czechia in the case of Czechoslovakia. In this quiz Serbia and Yugoslavia are separated, while Russia and USSR and Czechia and Czechoslovakia are placed together.

When typed Montenegro, it read that I'd already guessed Yugoslavia. I can only guess as 2006 they were just called "Serbia and Montenegro". But yes Serbia are the successor to these former teams.

Now obviously we all know that Qatar only hosting because of money. Qatar haven’t even got close to qualifying so how they deserve to even be considered to host it, it’s all wrong. If hosting was chosen for football reasons and a fair spread around the world. The 2018 tournament should’ve been in England ( you know, the nation that has some of the best stadiums in football and has what’s considered best league in world football )

This years tournament should’ve been in Australia, which would have been a summer tournament for us northern hemisphere folks ( winter tournament down under )

Yes I know Australia is more known for its cricket and rugby, but at least they’ve actually qualified for the World Cup on many occasions by ACTUALLY playing qualification rounds.

The order is somewhat confusing. The teams with one participation are all listed in alphabetical order, but the debutantes from the last three World Cups (Iceland, Panama, Qatar) are listed in the end of the list in order of appearance. I guess when the quiz was updated, they were just added, but that makes certain mess. Also, shouldn't Slovakia be under East Germany, as it was a Round 2 participant? And Haiti... Is this meant to be in certain order or not?

It has nothing to do with the notion of nation. West Germany and Germany is the same FIFA-Federation (before WW2, during the Cold War and now) that lasts under the same name since 1900. East Germany was a different one that only existed from 1958 to 1990
