1994 World Cup transformed U.S. soccer finance

Joe Weisenthal, executive editor of news for Bloomberg Digital at Bloomberg L.P., highlights the impact of the 1994 World Cup on soccer's business landscape in the U.S.

He discusses with Tracy Alloway and Joseph D'Urso how hosting the tournament led to permanent changes in the sport's financialization and commercialization.
