No more than one answer each please.

Australia's one answer, but is it 30, 31 or 32?

dg writes: let's call it 30

11) France

23 - USA (they were my neighbours, so I reserve the right to grab the easy one)

13 England

Trinidad and Tobago is therefore either 31 or 32!

If we say that T&T is 31 then 32 must be Japan.

14 - Portugal - going home tomorrow

Are you sure the second clue to answer #12 (San Marino, Slovakia) is correct?

If you meant Slovenia instead, then the answer is Italy.

Yeah, I know, Slovenia, Slovakia, you probably did not Czech (tu-dum).

5- Germany

I'll skip my country, and go for number 9 - Switzerland

2's spain

21 - Ghana.

Let's make it more interesting:

Q2: Could you name the only country that didn't qualified for WC, but have 4 neighbours that did qualified ?

Q3: And 5 countires that didn't qualified for WC, but have 3 neighbours that did qualified ?

8] Sweden

26 - Argentina

dg writes: Argentina isn't 26

26 is Paraguay

25. Costa Rica

10) Poland

27 - Argentina

Oh - and Q2 = Austria

9 must be Switzerland, but that little place just east of it that's effectively almost Swiss has another t in its name...

24. Mexico

1 - Mornington Crescent

6 - holland

4. Ukraine

Q3 - belgium

17 - South Korea

19 is Togo. As in, how do you know the route from Nigeria to Ghana? Once you've been in Benin, there's only Togo to go to. Ah I love that one, and it's got a good few outings the last couple of weeks...

28. Ecuador

No. 1 is Serbia & Montenegro, or is it just Serbia or just Montenegro now?!

Still to be guessed: 3, 7, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 29

Extra time: Second guesses now allowed


16 - Iran (seeing as Afghanistan didn't make an appearance this year)

22 - Ivory Coast

7 = Croatia

20 - Angola

18 - Tunisia

15 is those delightful boys from Saudi Arabia

3 Czech Republic?

Just country 29 to go – one of the most famous teams in the competition.

29. Brazil lalala la lalala la lalala *smack*

Final whistle! That's all of them.

Attempting an answer to Sekula's Q2, Germany didn't qualify but had five neighbours that did (unless I've missed something obvious).

Definitely India and Pakistan are not taking part they are usually in the field playing football in Kashmir.
