User talk:Mark J/A page I created but got deleted, which I keep for reference

This is an interesting table which I have updated.

But I think you should award bonus points:


 * For being there, i.e. having got through the qualifying rounds. For example, my country, Scotland, has a good record of attendance for a small country, but never goes further because World Cup Finals are usually played in hot weather which Scottish footballers did not evolve in and find difficult to adapt to.
 * For getting through the later stages. The difference between winning and getting knocked out in the quarter finals must be worth more than the difference between 32 and 25-28.

Hope to see you editing again soon. Viewfinder 22:41, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
