 North, Central America and Caribbean (CONCACAF): 2.25 places, 1 of them went to
automatic qualifier United States, while the other 1.25 places were contested by 22 teams.

team from OFC).

[edit] Notes
 Tragedy struck when the entire team of Zambia was killed on a plane crash in Gabon
carrying them to a qualifier against Senegal.The nation virtually had to build a new team
from scratch, but the new team was a formidable opponent, missing USA 1994 by one
point
 San Marino’s Davide Gualtieri scored the fastest goal ever in World Cup competition: the
opener against England after just 8.3 seconds [1], although England went on to win the
game 7-1. The English radio commentary on that day went like this: "Welcome to Bologna
on Capital Gold for England versus San Marino with Tennent's Pilsner, brewed with
Czechoslovakian yeast for that extra Pilsner taste...and England are one down."
 Emil Kostadinov scored the Bulgaria's winner against France in the dying seconds of their
last World Cup qualifier in November 1993 at Parc des Princes. Bulgaria got the points and
qualified for the finals, while denying France a ticket, as they would have qualified with a
draw. The team was heavily criticized for the loss, especially David Ginola, who mistakenly
gave Kostadinov the pass that would lead to the goal. Because of this, Ginola was never
called for the French squad again.
 Japan also conceded a last-minute goal against Iraq in their final match, thus denying
themselves a place in the finals and handing the spot to their rivals South Korea. The
episode is called the Agony of Doha in Japan.
