Politics and football are very closely connected at times.
Merkep in Germany would receive an, albeit lesser, popularity boost as well should they win it.
There are rumors Balotellis signing for Milan was at least partly due to Berlusconis partys campaign for the parlamential elections soon after. Some surveys even attribute as much of 1-2% of the voters voted for Berlusconi for this reason.
With Brazil it's a little more complex. Basically the WC is subject to immense criticism and protests arguing there are more important matters than stadiums the government should spend money for, and targeting cases of corruption which allegidly is extremely common during the WCs organisation. The whole event is therefore seen in a rather negative light, and in turn so is the government responsible for hosting it.
Should Brazil win however, this attitude will be changed completely, everyone loves the WC and all the criticisms suddenly don't matter that much, and the current adminstration has a much higher chance of getting reelected.
