Well England have twice had to rely on home advantage to secure two of their best three tournament finishes. For the most part this lef-up is denied to their fellow lower strata nations. The exception (1990) saw them given a partciularly soft passage through to a semi (despite the best efforts to freeze) but where they inevitably failed to win when they first had to play a top team.

You might of course point out that South Korea owe their place on the list to similar home advantage
