The problem with the world cup is compared to the premier league most of the teams (incl. England) are fairly mediocre. Whilst some countries still play with national pride, others (like England) can't really be bothered because they don't get paid like in the premier league and it is not worth risking an injury for that might put them out of the big money games.
