This is Marketing

Sorry there are lots of serious studies out that show that this page is just the marketing for developers and politicans to justify the insane costs of the world cups. Even the two best cups in France 1998 and Germany 2006 were not able to show any positive economic effect.

Well, the article is well sourced. If you'd like to introduce some other sources, you're welcome to do so. A random powerpoint slide, of course, will not qualify as a reliable source, though said person has published the information in a peer-reviewed journal, that could be included. We can always include multiple different—even contradicting—opinions, so long as we can validly source each one. Qwyrxian (talk) 13:28, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spurious conclusions in the Corporate Sponsorship section

Transitions from discussing overall levels of sponsorship in sports, by region, to the implied corrollary that "With this value of sport sponsorship, it is evident that hosting a World Cup will strongly impact a global economy." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darksentinel (talk • contribs) 02:21, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cheer propaganda

This article is filled with post factum conclusions, specially concerning the impact on national football leagues, provides few or none facts and figures for an economic article, makes a much disputed claim on it's starting sentence, and makes(rather hilariously, I must say) an exercise of dodging around facts on the South African and Brazilian examples, which don't quite fit the narrative. I don't know what motive is there behind this nonsense, but someone more knowledgeable of this issues should rewrite the full article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.132.230.38 (talk) 20:13, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate info?

The page says the US lost billions of dollars during the 1994 world cup but then just above that it says that it only cost 500million to do it? Doesn't add up 2603:8001:B901:CEA:C53E:DB58:58CE:17CE (talk) 00:03, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
