In terms of hosting yes. FIFA even gave RSA a very high overall rating for hosting the tournament.
The opening was rather bland & i expected more but the closing ceremony was nice.
The group matches were disappointing but after that, the games were rather interesting & i love seeing shock results. Many people complained about the games because 'their' teams crashed out. I can't tell you the immense joy i got from seeing England, France, Italy, Germany, Argentina & Brazil crashing out.

Well you can't blame the host country for any of those issues. FIFA knew about weather conditions. RSA was unfortunate to host a WC during a recession. FIFA didn't make as much as they expected too, neither did the organizing committee & the fact that the negative image surrounding africa put a lot of tourists off from coming over.
Had all the big teams made it to the quarter finals & all the big name players lived up to their reputation, the whole opinion over the tournament would have been different.

Korea & Japan was shit.
France98 was a success just because the loads of stars participated in it,but if u compare their stadia to the SA stadia for example,you'll find the South African ones are much better,most of the french stadia were dark with less than 40,000 capacity.
Germany:i'll give that one.
And South Africa 2010 > USA 94

I think you consider 94 as a successful cup just because of the high attendance.but what benefits you will get from fans who don't understand the game properly?
Those American fans never made a change on the atmosphere of the matches.i remember during Brazil's matches,the camera was all the time focusing on that group of Samba girls,but no one paid attention to those American fans who were not even knowing the difference between a PK and a FK .

Yeah man, where do you dirty Merican's get off filling out stadiums with thousands of fans who don't know the byline from the byline? Sheeeeet... in Soviet Russia you guys woulda been hung and quartered. I'm surprised Fifa didn't lodge a complaint with the UN because there are clearly laws regarding letting uninformed fans into stadiums during international football tournaments.
Must be the reason you guys were overlooked last week.
