West Germany is the same country as the current and pre-WWII Germany. When the Cold War ended, the FRG annexed the old GDR.

Yeah for record-keeping purposes, modern day Germany is credited with the appearances of former West Germany. Same goes for Russia and the USSR. Not a big deal though. Nice quiz.

You need to accept Cote D'ivoire without the accents.

United Arab Emirates should be acceptible for UAE, and Soviet Union should be acceptible for U.S.S.R.

I would also consider making Democratic Republic of Congo acceptible for Zaire. Unlike USSR/Russia, Yugoslavia/Serbia & Montenegro/Serbia, Germany/East Germany/West Germany, and Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic/Slovakia, there is no territory difference between Dem. Rep. Congo and Zaire. It is just a new name and a new regime that refers to the same territory. I'm not sure that it is any different than considering the united Germany from the 1930s as the same country as today's united Germany.

It's super weird that you don't accept "Soviet" or "Soviet union" for USSR. Also, you really should group lots of answers. Germany and West Germany are the same, for instance. And come on, don't treat Serbia and Serbia and Montenegro separately.

i like the way you have, those countries qualified as zaire, ussr, dutch east indies, etc, dont accept their present day countries, otherwise its just how many countries of the world can you name. but you should accept the full names of uae, usa, ussr

Technically Israel qualified as a member of Oceania. They did not become full members of UEFA until 1994. Australia also was not a member of AFC until this the current qualifying campaign.

Why doesn't it accept Cote D'Ivoire? Otherwise an excellent quiz combining history and geography and sport. Dutch East Indies is certainly super-obscure, but fair enough, easy quizzes are boring.

Great quiz, I did one identical in my profile. Hopefully sporcle will published this idea, its a geography/sport combo which is always popular-- oh wait, having said that its not NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL so chances are slim .... Roll on 2010! You might have to update this in November when we might see some new nations qualify (Bosnia & Herzegovina etc)

Have added in Cote D'Ivoire without the accents (as well as Ivory Coast that was already there, United states for USA and United Arab Emirates for UAE. As for adding in present day names for the likes of Dutch East Indies and Zaire, unifying the Germany names and the Czechoslovakia names etc, it would make no sense to do that IMO. Those countries qualified for the world cup under their previous names, not the ones they currently have. We don't revise historical facts to accommodate present day names (For example, we would not read a book about the fall of Istanbul) so I shall do the same.

Exactly the same as mine! http://www.sporcle.com/games/downfall/world_cup_finals_countries - I'm waiting until all the 2010 qualifiers are known next month to update it.

Been done, at least twice, and better organized (without all your problems with changed country names, continued FIFA offical records for Czechs, Germany, Yugoslavia/Serbia etc.): http://www.sporcle.com/games/downfall/world_cup_finals_countries

Bumble: you say "Those countries qualified for the world cup under their previous names, not the ones they currently have. We don't revise historical facts to accommodate present day names" --> but FIFA doesn't agree with you! Your opinion makes sense, but that's not how football's governing body sees it. Germany's record, for example, inlcudes results from pre-1945 when they were Germany, then their West Germany period, and then back to unified Germany again. Also true with Yugoslavia>>Serbia & Montenegro>>Serbia. There are others, check FIFA World Cup website.

I think Serbia and the Germanys are alright as they are but Indonesia and DRC should be accepted. Indonesia and DRC have played in the world cup so on a quiz of teams that have played in the world cup typing in 'Indonesia' and 'Democratic Republic of the Congo' should get you credit.

Needs India as a bonus, but otherwise this is tops, I can only assume the only reason it hasn't been published yet is they are waiting for the World Cup to roll around..
