The story of 2010
The first World Cup in Africa, to the soundtrack of vuvuzelas. Andrés Iniesta's extra-time goal won Spain their first title, the peak of the tiki-taka era and part of an unmatched Euro–World Cup–Euro treble. The Netherlands lost a third final, this one ill-tempered. Diego Forlán's Uruguay finished fourth.
