Definitely. If we took the sport as seriously as Brazil, we'd surely be contenders every year for sure. I noticed a rough correlation between a country's population and development and success at the World Cup excluding Asian countries of course (still haven't figured out exactly why they dont do well)

Population and development are very important but so is how much the people of a country like a sport. Most Asian countries prefer other sports to football.

Such as India and Pakistan preferring Cricket or South Korea and Japan preferring baseball.

Hm.....I'd think with a billion people, there'd be enough to spare but you're probably right. I used to think it was just less emphasis on sports in general.
