I think you missed the key to my post being pisstaking.
England 2014 failed to get out of their group which included Uruguay, Italy and Costa Rica
And the Brazil 1974 team are ranked as the worst ever Brazil side
Whole generations of my countrymen have been through wars, sanctions, poverty and NATO bombing - but a lot of them will claim that Mijatović hitting the crossbar from the penalty in that game is one of the worst moments of their lives. The guy won Real Madrid a European Cup (and is a smart, decent, though a bit arrogant fella all round), yet everyone think only of that penalty whenever he’s mentioned.
I’m never getting over that miss, you know, and while Netherlands have always been something of my second team in World Cups (I really, really have so much respect for your understanding of football and the way you develop players - even though a lot of very good ones played for Man United), I hope we’ll manage beat you someday (and hopefully in volleyball’s Euro final as well, because of 1997). Yes, I’m a sad bastard with a long memory of bad moments but I was a kid back then and football, basketball and volleyball got my generation through a whole lot of difficult times!

No one mentioned England 1966?
One for the football historians. 
ok… just to fill it up i will go with the Greece Euro team 2004, i really loved how they, starting as an underdog, went all the way to the final and beat Portugal that time in Lisbon.
You are talking about Euro, right?
Portugal 66. Eusebio magic until kicked and fouled out.
Yep sry… i edited it now. but ok…it wasn´t a world cup, my bad and wouldnt count . what a shame.
North Korea 
Most of my favorites are already in … ok then, after taking another look, i want to add the West Germany Team of 1954 of course.
Brazil 82
Zico, Socrates, Eder…
Best team not to win a World Cup
And they couldn’t even beat Oireland (and nominally finished below them in the group so went out to Germany in the rnd of 16).
