I can see why people are disappointed that there are no really offensive teams. But history shows us that these kind of teams just don't win the WC. Some people talked about Brazil, and that's BY FAR the best example.
In 1982, we lost to a vastly inferior Italy, but they had great defending. Then we won in 1994 with a much less talented team, but it was a more solid squad overall. State of the art football doesn't win titles, with some few exceptions. I couldn't tell you why though.
Personally, I don't think this WC is as boring as some of you are thinking. I'm really enjoying it, if only because of the tension the matches generate. Yeah yeah, that's just because it's the knock-out stage, but still.
