The risk would be that a draw could come up with for instance Brazil vs Argentina and Germany vs Italy in the first round. That would mean two favourites are out in the first round having played only one game. Besides that the next round would be less interesting than the first. Nobody is waiting for a world cup final between e.g. Bolivia vs Tuvalu.
The whole point is to show over three matches (three times the income and experience !!) how good you are and that you are worhty of the next round.
Your critisim that the world cup is geared to the bigger teams is not right. It has been shown before that "smaller" teams (Cameroon 1990, South Korea 2002) can go far in the world cup. The world cup is geared to the BEST teams and that is the whole point of the world cup. The best team should win the cup.

Teams are already picked at random
(as to who plays, with who initially)
then to qualify, in the world cup ,the picked , opposing teams team qualify ; to go to the next round, by beating the team selected in that round .
They come up against other winners and if successful, go on to the next stage
until there are only two teams remaining for THE FINAL
By the bigger teams. you mean ones that play better
All teams have the opportunity to play well , having four years to get "their act together"
There can only be one winner .
I think it is a sound system we have in place ;
But OH! the penalties, if it comes to a tight finish are sad .
:((

It would be great to have a group with teams like(for example) Brazil, Argentina, England and Germany.
However, The later stages of the cup would be boring and the semi finals could end up with only one or two 'top' teams. This would make the tournament too predictable, therefore boring.

I don't like the current system. I mean seriously, what chance does a team like Saudi Arabia have over three games...NONE!!! Then again, i'm a firm believer that teams like the Saudi's shouldn't even be in the finals....I thought the whole point was..that the best teams played in it....Saudi Arabia might be one of the best teams in their confederation...but they are sadly lacking when it comes to playing teams outside.

i think all the teams shouls compete against each other and the best 30 (since host and defending champions automatically go) should qualify for the world cup.

The system has been working fine for years, why change it now?
