Top Nations with No World Cup Appearances

Based on the February 2008 FIFA rankings, these are the highest ranking countries who have never made a World Cup appearance.

37 - Finland
46 - Mali
47 - Guinea
49 - Moldova
55 - Lithuania
61 - Macedonia
62 - Belarus
63 - Panama
65 - Zambia
66 - Cyprus
68 - Uzbekistan

I think that Finland, Mali, and Panama have the best shot from that group to make it to South Africa 2010, although they are all long shots. The lowest ranking team that has made a previous world cup appearance is North Korea, who is currently ranked at 120.
