The World Cup isn't the highest level, the Champions League is. And I'm guessing you watched games from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa? That was the most boring, shit on a stick World Cup I've watched. The most boring team (Spain) won the most boring tournament by asphyxiating their opponents. World Cups are generally more cagey as it's over a year of qualifying and the tournament is every 4 years so no margin for error. You shouldn't let that decide your opinion on the sport tbh.
It's more dramatic than the Champions League but if you don't care about the sport you can't really make yourself care or buy into the drama imo, saying that, Barcelona vs Chelsea 2nd leg in 2012 is one of the best matches I've ever seen.
Football is popular worldwide for a reason.
Oh and the fan culture is 5*.
