Northern Ireland and Scotland have qualified since 1962, NI twice and Scotland six times and their populations are way less than 10m people so that's still wrong.

I think you misunderstood me, or I expressed myself wrongly, I meant the FINAL of the World cup, as in, the LAST GAME.
Oh and I don't really know how we ended up from me saying that a country of 4 million people winnig the world cup would be extraordinary to now arguing that population=/=success in football. Obviously it doesn't since China and India haven't even come close. Croatia winning the world cup would still be extraordinary and unexpected, or are we arguing about that also? :unsure:
