Yes and no - there is no contractual requirement to pay the players. For example, FIFA pays the FAs of the countries that play but those FAs have no obligation to pay the players and FIFA does not mandate that the players get paid by their FAs.
Like the Rugby World Cup, the Football World Cup prize money is designed to develop the game in the country of the winner, not specifically to pay the players. But because established countries like Brazil, Argentina, Germany and Italy are often winning the World Cup, those countries don't need to develop game with that prize money so they tend not to. They pay the players incentives. There are no set payments and no "salaries" for the players.
So while the short answer to this question might be yes, the technical answer is no in terms of knowing what they'll get or that they'll get anything at all. That is, players do not go to World Cup knowing they will get paid or knowing how much they will get. It's not like their club agreements where they know they will get 150,000 pounds a week.
The reality is that if you told World Cup players that they won't get a dime, the great majority would go happily. The World Cup is not about getting paid, it's about winning the World Cup.

Are soccer players good at soccer?
It depends at what level and in what country they play in. Professional soccer players are obviously good and even the lowest division of football in England are better than people who enjoy a kick-about in the park. Those who play soccer full time or part time are good at football, otherwise the club wouldn't sign them. Even supposedly soccer "flops" such as Fernando Torres and Stewart Downing are brilliant footballers and would dominate a soccer game of a lower level.
