[Hidden]

Bosnia, Algeria, Iran, Honduras defenitely. Russia if results of USSR aren't considered. And I guess Ivory Coast, because they debuted on World Cups not long time ago. WC in Brazil is theirs only 3rd or 4th tournament only and for sure they didn't progress past the Group Stage in 2006 and 2010.

Costa-Rica passed to 1/8 stage in 1990 or in 1994, I don't remember clearly.

 

[El Guepardo]

Yup, Ivory Coast must be one. I remember in 2006, they were in one of those Groups of Death.

Yes, Ivory Cost is correct, but not Russia, who "inherited" the history of the former Soviet Union.
