i respectfully disagree. watching germany thrash argentina, england, and australia with 4 goals a game was awesome. and to then see them be utterly neutralized by spain's midfield passing technique was genius. watching mighty brazil not lose in 10 months of qualifiers, only to then self-implode to the dutch, although dramatic and heartbreaking to brazilians, was nonetheless historic in the sports world. watching the french disgrace themselves was historic. the italians completely collapse. the penalty shootouts with ghana/uruguay and japan/paraguay were rivetting. the netherlands/uruguay game was one of the best i've seen, down to the last minute where the dutch might've been equalized by a sudden paraguay resurgence. landon donovan's 91st minute goal that saved the US.
you might not enjoy all the above, but to call it a flop is overstating, i believe.
