I would say 2002. Lots of upsets and therefore just a handful marquee matches. South Korea shady wins. Pretty boring semis and final.

2010 by some distance. South Africa did a fine job as hosts but on the pitch it wasn’t great. A lot of the bigger nations were transitioning between eras or declining. Too many dull, low scoring games.
