After over two years of qualifying rounds featuring 207 nations and 816 matches, the end came last Wednesday with Uruguay qualifying as the 32nd and final team to clinch a place for 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Except the debutant Bosnia-Herzegovina, most of the favorites cemented their places, including eight former world champions. Ukraine were the most unfortunate FIFA ranked nation at No. 20 as they lost to No. 21 France in Tuesday’s playoff, even after leading 2-0 in the first leg at Kiev.
