Sounds easy doesn't it, however a few pointers, there will be several countries that have undergone at least one name change in this period, and all the names count towards your total, and it's only their 1st appearance that counts as an answer. Hope that info helps somewhat, I got 54/84 so it's tougher than I expected I must admit. :)

Got 70 and would have 6 more if I could spell correctly.

I did not realise Serbia and Montenegro was an entry. I had Serbia and tried Montenegro.

68 for me and a lot hardly than I thought. One I only got right at the end was a past winner too.

72/84.

You could have given me 5 hours to get them all but one from 1938 I would never have got.

Perhaps we should see if they will allow us to enter as England and Brazil

Pope would be the only Englishman in the team. ;)

I missed 15, including the entire continent of North America. :oops: Lucky only two countries live there!

Yes you are right Brazilian keepers are historically useless. They only have Edison and Allison now
