As the regions of CONMEBOL, Europe and CONCACAF are decided, we look at each of the qualified teams and how they got there.
HOSTS
South Africa. Not having to lift a finger to qualify for their own competition, the South African side gave a good account of themselves at the Confederations Cup, but failed to qualify for the African Nations Cup. The eyes of the world will be upon them in June.
UEFA REGION
Denmark: A 1-0 win over rivals Sweden gave the Danes top spot and they only lost once in a group they were not expected to win.
England: A defeat to Ukraine aside, Fabio Capello's side were consistently impressive as they won 9 out of their 10 games and bagged the most goals too.
Germany: With two wins over rivals Russia, the Germans sealed their place with some gritty performances and some dominant home form.
Italy: Not the most convincing in terms of form, the World Champions struggled away from home, came back from two goals down against Cyprus, and still topped the group.
Netherlands: Wrapping up qualification early with a 100% record, the Dutch hardly broke sweat and conceded just two goals on their way to the finals.
Serbia: A shock group winner after holding off France, a 5-0 hammering of Romania showed the world that they are a serious proposition.
Spain: Arguably the best side in the competition, a classy display saw them maintain a 100% record and not concede a single goal at home.
Slovakia: Despite losing to rivals Slovenia in the penultimate game, they picked up a win over Poland to seal their place at the top of the group and book their place at their first international competition.
Switzerland: With a point enough on the final day, the Swiss lost only once - to minnows Luxembourg - during the qualifiers to pip Greece to the post.
PLAY-OFFS: Seeds: Russia, France, Portugal, Greece. Non-seeds: Ireland, Slovenia, Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina.
CONMEBOL
Brazil: Favourites in the group, Dunga's men made sure of qualification without dominating and struggled slightly away from home.
Paraguay: Winning seven of their eight home games, Paraguay surprised many by easing through the qualifiers with wins over Brazil and Argentina.
Chile: Getting to a World Cup for the first time since France '98, their away form saw them score 18 goals and seal their place.
Argentina: After making a meal of qualifying, including a horrible final run, Maradona's men made it by beating Uruguay away in the last game. More will be expected in South Africa.
PLAY-OFFS: Uruguay
CONCACAF
Mexico: A perfect home record and no real surprises in a group they were always going to find easy.
United States: Managing to beat Honduras on the road, the U.S. also cruised through by virtue of an impressive home record.
Costa Rica/Honduras: TBD
PLAY-OFFS: Costa Rica/Honduras
CAF
Ghana: Dominant home form from the Black Stars kept them at the top of each of their groups, and they have been tipped to end a 28-year wait for the African Nations Cup title before South Africa.
Ivory Coast: A commanding qualification from the Elephants, as they did not lose a game in either group stage on their way to the finals.
TBD (Nov. 14): Egypt/Algeria, Cameroon/Gabon, Tunisia/Nigeria.
ASIA
Australia: Hammering all before them at home, they managed just two goals on the road, but qualified with ease.
Japan: Finishing as runners-up behind the Socceroos, Japan's excellent early away form pushed them above Bahrain.
South Korea: Looking to emulate their successes of 2002, they topped both their groups without losing a game and netted 22 goals in the process too.
Korea DPR: Getting through for the first time since 1966, when they famously beat Italy, Korea DPR finished as runners-up behind their southern rivals as they had a better goal difference than Saudi Arabia.
INTERCONTINENTAL PLAY-OFF: TBD (Nov. 14): New Zealand/Bahrain (0-0 after first leg).

Maradona Lashes Out At Media Critics After Argentina Qualify For World Cup
"It's going to all Argentinians, except the journalists," he told a press conference.
"They [journalists] treat me like dirt, but we qualified with honor. I dedicate this to all of the Argentinian people and my family, but one sector does not deserve it [referring to journalists] because they treated me like garbage. They invented fights with [Carlos] Bilardo, among other things."
