Success. Higher attendance per match than the last world Cup in Germany (which had larger venues), and Canada is certainly not a soccer country compared to Germany. To be fair, our numbers have been skewed by tickets given away and doubleheader tickets where people go to only one game, but ehh... numbers are numbers.
Turf has been a minor issue and has somewhat reduced the quality of play, but most important is that it hasn't really caused any major injuries.
