Notes
  1. Only 34 of the entered teams actually competed in the qualification tournament: Spain qualified for the World Cup automatically as host.
  2. The match was interrupted in 77th minute due to stones thrown at the pitch; FIFA later gave this result to Poland.

gollark: Oh, those, I forgot their contents.
gollark: No. This is entirely impossible.
