the 1994 cup was hugely successful in terms of ticket sales.
There was a heat wave for a good part of the tournament, it was really hot. Players would run to the sidelines almost every time down the feild to get a bag or cup of water to dump on their heads. Other then that, I think some people in the (english) media complained about the fancy patterns mowed into the grass.
