In meetings during the past few weeks, according to one source, U.S. Soccer officials have made it clear to FIFA they are eager, and prepared, to stage the 2010 or 2014 World Cup, as they did with relative success in 1994.So, the best-attended tournament in history, both in total numbers and percentage of capacity, is a "relative" success? Exactly what the hell was "relative" about it?

Relative has a couple possible uses here:
1. Limit the bias that might be read into it.
2. Await the final numbers from 2006.

That's the least of the worries from this article.
