How to improve the world cup

After the group stages, half the teams go home early, and we're left with the elite of world football to fight it out to see who's the best team there.

But what about who's the worst team there?

My idea is to put all the bottom placed teams from each group into a knockout competition, to run alongside the proper comp. The loser of each game goes through, culminating in a grand final (possibly on the day of the final?). Each member of the losing team would have to carry piggy back style their corresponding counterpart from the winning team (coaches and managers included) as they pick up their medals and parade round the pitch.

I can just picture Hodgson sweating away lugging big Phil around the Maracana
 

I think a losers final would only throw into sharp focus the bossness of the actual final. Plus, it means we get our money's worth out of the (vastly overpaid) footballers, even the cack ones. Also, it means there's more football to watch, I hate the last stages where there's days with no footy.
