Russia
B
Mexico
C
United States
D
Australia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The country was also represented in the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament on both occasions, and in the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament in 2000. Australia hosted the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 1981, just the third iteration of the tournament, and were again hosts of the same tournament in 1993.

Detailed explanation-2: -The FIFA world cup? Well football (or ‘soccer’) as we call it is not as popular as Rugby league and AFL, so our national foorball team isn’t as strong as Argentina or Brasil or Italy where football/soccer is very popular. So that’s why we haven’t hosted a FIFA world cup.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a result, some of the most accomplished European teams, including three-time Olympic gold medalist England and football enthusiasts Italy, Spain, Germany and Holland did not make an appearance at the first World Cup.
