... per world cup. I guess the fact that there is one data point per four years is a give-away...

Obviously one can figure it out, but that doesn't change the fact that the chart is mistitled. It's XKCD, this is the type of thing that the entire comic series is all about. They've specifically done lots of comics about mistitled charts
