	Argh, you beat me to it. Good quiz, although I find some information that could be corrected. FIFA official all-time ranking (http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/statisticsandrecords/tournaments/worldcup/alltimerankings.html) consists of 76 teams while yours has 79. It's because German, Russian and Serbian FA's are the legal successors of the West Germany, USSR and Yugoslavia FA's respectively. FIFA recognizes each pair as a single football team and I think we should do the same. You can also see that Czech Republic and Slovakia both hold the Czechoslovakia's WC record. As for the other things, Indonesia should work for Dutch East Indies, GDR/German Democratic Republic for East Germany and DRC/Democratic Republic of Congo for Zaire.

	OK, I've edited to take those into account. I did think about counting Russia/USSR and Germany/West Germany as one, but I wasn't sure where to go with Yugoslavia or Czechoslovakia so I decided to leave them all separate. Having an official line of succession makes the decision a lot easier. I was wondering what in the world the Dutch East Indies were as well, thanks!

	Good fun, but I'm really not sure about having Slovakia separate from Czech. I think typing 'Czechoslovakia' should get both of them, especially as Slovakia are yet to qualify in their own right.

	Now updated to include the 2010 qualification results.

	India should be included as well. They qualified for the 1950 World Cup but withdrew because they were not allowed to play barefoot. That's really a true story. :) (check out Wikipedia) If you don't want to include India, then you should change the question of the quiz to "Can you name the teams that have PARTICIPATED IN at least one FIFA World Cup".

	Well, how about that. Added India as a bonus answer, and took your suggestion for the wording change. Thanks!
