All the teams to have ever qualified for [[The World Cup]] are listed here.
Line 61:
* '''Cameroon:''' First African quarter-finalists in 1990 but out in Round 1 in all other appearances (1982, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2010). Oddly, they were flushed out in 1982 with three draws on group stage, and it only happened because Italy, with the same results, had narrowly edged them out in goal difference. Fielded the oldest player in the competition's history, 42-year-old Roger Milla, in 1994.
* '''Côte d'Ivoire:''' Knocked out of last two World Cups playing in nearly impossible groups to qualify from (Argentina and Netherlands were their main worried in 2006, while Brazil and Portugal were in their way in 2010).
* '''Egypt:''' Both appearances in Italy (1934 and 1990), both ended in first round, although their tiebreaker loss to Algeria to qualify for 2010 [
* '''Ghana:''' Reached Round 2 in Germany in 2006, and unfortunate to lose in quarter-finals to Uruguay in 2010.
* '''Morocco:''' Second Round in 1986 (having won a group with England and Portugal, by holding the former to a standstill and defeating the latter 3-1), in 3 other appearances (1970, 1994, 1998) not beyond the First.
