YUGOSLAVIA 9, ZAIRE 0: Zaire was the first sub-Saharan African team to play in the World Cup in 1974. But after a fairly solid start, losing 2-0 to Scotland, Zaire was routed by Yugoslavia 9-0 with six of the goals coming in the first half. Dusan Bajevic scored a hat trick. In its next match, Zaire lost only 3-0 to Brazil. Zaire, now called Congo, has not been at a World Cup since. (File photo | AP)
