India did indeed qualify for the 1950 World Cup but withdrew AFTER the draw for the group stage. They were drawn in group 3 with Sweden, Italy and Paraguay and probably thought better of it. So Although they did not PARTICIPATE, technically they did QUALIFY
I think there's a bit of a mix up between FIFA members and Continental (eg. CAF, CONCACAF) members. French Guiana shouldn't be included because it's not a FIFA member and can't qualify for the world cup, however it's a member of CONCACAF and can compete in their competitions. In the same sense Bonaire, Guadeloupe, St Martin, Sint Maarten; Martinique, Zanzibar and Reunion (which are now only an Associate Member of CAF), Northern Mariana Islands, Kiribati, Tuvalu, and Niue (which is no longer part of OFC or FIFA) should not be included either.
I am just curious, why is Zanzibar included in this quiz? According to their wikipedia page they were never a member of FIFA and only a member of CAF for a few months in 2017.
I just noticed I was spelling French Guiana wrong this whole time and took about 5 minutes to find out which South American country was the missing one out. I decided to just move on. facepalm.
But qualify they did,
Thanks for playing!
u sure about
French Guiana?
thanz
Why is one accepted over the other?
Also think the time is like 30 seconds too short for me to actually think about everything.
