Except... all the stats seem to show it hasn't... it doesn't help the countries economically and "smaller market" teams seem to shrink from the pressure rather then improve.

Heck, look at South Africa.  Anywhere else in the world... I think they preform better then they did.

 

I dont know, they had a hard group(France, Uruguay and Mexico) so I dont think results wouldve been better. They even tied with mexico which was a higher level team so maybe being home did help them.
