The passage below contains 10 mistakes in spelling, grammar and word form. UNDERLINE the mistakes and CORRECT them.

​            Football has grown to become one of most successful sports and opportunities on the planet. In the 2006 World Cup Finals, several hundred global companies advertised their production at stadiums in Germany. Through televising games the promotion of soft drinks, fast food, credit cards, and others items helped to generate a turnover of nearly $1 billion. This huge number of sponsorship has helped to raise the profile of businesses, but it is also valuable for football associations throughout the world. FIFA has made arrangements so that a lot of the money raised is returned to sport development programmes in the nations where competed in the tournament. Moreover, football and money don't always result in happiness. Many problems are caused in the major competitions when teams demand more money for each performances. Often players become impatient, and demand to be paid before playing. This is unlikely to end well, cause lots of problems. If these arguments affect team spirit, then results are the poor. Unfortunately, poor results mean that teams receive less money from the tournament organisers, so in the end the development of the game in these nations suffer. This means that the chance with improvement is small. Sometimes sport and money just don't mix.
