According to those that have done it, there's no greater feeling than representing your country at the World Cup.
While the tournament, for many, is about the stars – the Maradonas and Peles, Ronaldos and Messis – a nice subplot every four years in the group stage is welcoming a country that have never competed before.
There's always one. There always has been at least one new country at every tournament since the inaugural World Cup back in 1930. This year, we know for sure that Qatar will be there: but since this is a quiz looking back at past World Cups… they're not on the list just yet.
