As you know by now, the U.S. is the only country to qualify for every FIFA U-17 World Cup (formerly the FIFA U-16 World Championship) since the tournament’s inception in 1985 – a total of 13 tournaments.
Some other notable and seemingly perennial U-17 qualifiers:

Brazil | 11 | 2009 South American qualifying is currently underway |
Argentina | 9 | With No. 10 possibly pending, see above |
Nigeria | 8 | Three time winners, includes automatic bid as ‘09 host |
Germany | 7 | Includes Germany FR (’85) and Germany DR (’87, ’89) |
