First, our national league is bad. Consists of many true 5000-souls village clubs and many incredibly painful games to watch. It's torturing the football and it's tragic overall, especially if someone gets hurt, because it just ain't worth it.

As for world cups: We do not make world cups. Not our style. 
Here's how that usually goes. We are hopeful in the beginning of qualifiers when everyone has still zero points and not just us and Azerbaijan. Some time and losses later we always end up having to root for several other teams so our theoretical chance stays alive. Which is strange when you have to shout go Denmark or something, but the later the day, the worse it gets. So now it's if Andorra beats Germany by 6  goals... but oh we only drew against Liechtenstein, so there goes that.

Fictional examples, true pattern. North Korea of all countries qualified more recently than we did. Our last win in a world cup tournament dates back 26 years now, against you guys actually. Guess that still hurts.

So there's that, bad soccer. We are still quite decent in ski jumping though. Which is a sport.
