Their presence was actually welcomed and appreciated by the urban residents. Same was true for the Pan American Games and the Rio Olympic games. It worked.
Street Crime was down. street criminals were in check....street vendors and hawking and general pan handling was down.
Streets were calm, the residents could actually sit in street cafe's and restaurants and shop without disturbance and extra noise from excited and pushy street vendors.

I still think the current U.S. politics will be a big deterrent for many would be world cup tourists. But international media viewing and media commerce will be up. way up.
