World Cup Finalists 1980, 1984, 1988 Have The World Cup Hosts Ever Failed To Qualify For The Previous World Cup?

Have the World Cup hosts ever failed to qualify for the previous World Cup? - world cup finalists 1980, 1984, 1988

I know the United States came to Italy '90 by the skin of his teeth, but the South Africa 2006 is completely lost. If you have happened before? (well, I know that Uruguay) did not qualify for the World Cup 1926 in question, but there are good grounds for assuming, learn to accept South Africa in 2010, although certain.

The host of the 1998 World Cup, when France did not qualfy place for 1994 FIFA World Cup in the country. The French needed only one point in the last two qualifying matches lost 2-1 to both Israel and Bulgaria, allowing Bulgaria to qualify instead of at the last minute.

Host countries that were not otherwise qualify for the World Cup to Sweden already in 1954 (Host 1958), in Chile, 1958 (host in 1962), Mexico, 1982 (host in 1986) and many of course, South Africa in 2006 (host 2010)

ITALY (host in 1934) not at the first World Cup in 1930 does not start qualifying now. The first tournament of the FIFA World Cup in Uruguay in 1930, he was open to all teams from affiliated to FIFA, and many European teams declined to participate because of the length and cost of the trip. Only 4 teams in Europe (Belgium, Yugoslavia, Romania and France) agreed to participate.

It has happened 4 times.

Sweden did not qualify for the World Cup in 1954, but remained until end of 1958. Could not reach Chile, the competition in 1958 and 1962 hosted the World Cup. Mexico has been falling for the finals in 1982, but in 1986 came a second time to celebrate. And the last time this happened in 1994 when France was in a position to qualify for the 1998 Final.
