Why South Africa 2010 Was The WORST (And Best) World Cup EVER

Before you comment, make sure you watch the FULL video 👀

I mean the ball is a ball “it goes to high” idk then maybe kick it lower

The person that who made this video is fullish I won't make fun of your world cup I love my world cup and I leave in south africa It's not just about the ball but the magic of the game ❤

What do you mean south africa world cup was the worst Im a South African but my best world cup was 2010 and I love it if you don't love it I don't care

I am from Albania and was 6 years old during this World Cup. It was first world cup in my life I taste football. Absolutely the ball Jabulani was an icon. Shakira's song too. Then Spain-Netherland final... And atmosphere sound of cup...
It was nostalgic... 💎

You Are Creating A Negetive Narrative They Are Countless Players, Coaches And Fans Who Said It Was The - If Not One Of The Best World Cups In Term Of Viewrship, Interest , Entertainment Etc.. Overall Your Video Is Misleading To New And Casual Fans Of Football. I Must I Am Very Disappointed With The Caption Of The Video As Well But Your Entitled To Your Opinion. 😊

Um Excuse me Sorry I Dont Think So Our Stadiums Were World Class Our Facilities Were World Class And Technically The Best Team Won And They Revolutionized Football Plus Africa Exceeded All Possible Expectations With Acception Of The Home Teams Perfomance

France lost the plot that year, Italy were a shadow of what they were in ‘06. New Zealand held their own, and the Dutch almost caused WW3

It was my fav

France 98 is still the standard bearer for WC tournaments there has not been a tournament since then that has come close. The 90s was the golden era of football.

This World Cup was no where near the level of the one in 2014

As a 42yo football fan this was easily the best WC ever. Not even close.

Oh please..... EVERYONE essentially buys the World Cup. FIFA is stunningly corrupt. And has been for a very long time. Germany, South Africa, South Korea, Japan, the US, Russia, Qatar.....all bought the World Cup. Its hardly unique to South Africa. The FACT that the WC is dished out to countries based on who is willing to slip yhe most amount of money under the table to FIFA is Football's dark secret.

2010 was the most different and best world cup I've seen

waving the flag is one of the worst world cup songs ever.

Football is shit now

Spain’s style is amazing, you’re a clown.

The best combination in World Cup was for lain and jabulani

My first World Cup watch was 1982, and for me, the 1990 World Cup was by far the worst. Plagued by backpassing and overly defensive play, eventually won by an awful German side. Not far behind was the 2006 World Cup. Below normal World Cup standards and slightly worse than 2010, in my view.

What kind of nonsense this person is talking about. Embarrassing content to be honest.

Is it such a surprise that we got it by bribing 😂

This tournament was the ultimate ‘vibes’ over substance World Cup

It’s beloved because of things like Wavin Flag, Paul the Octopus, Jabulani, the African Fans, and Ghana doing well but being cruel robbed.

For me it was a tournament where the stars really struggled. Messi and Ronaldo were practically invisible, none of the Brazilians like Kaka stood out, Rooney was awful, Eto’o’s Cameroon were poor, Ibra’s Sweden didn’t qualify, Ribery and France were crap, Drogba/Toure and the Ivory Coast got stuck in a brutal group and were poor, Gerrard + Lampard were average, Torres was a non factor. The only TOP players in the world at that point that showed up were Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Robben, Sneijder, Schweinsteiger and Lahm. It was more a tournament for the likes of Forlan, Suarez, Muller, Higuain, Gyan

Going into the tournament Spain were heavily predicted to win, which doesn’t necessarily make it a bad World Cup - provided they live up to everyone’s expectations. 4 1-0s in the KO just felt under whelming. They didn’t blow teams away or wow you with their football, and you never really felt like they were at risk. The final as well was a tough watch because the Dutch, who had been an excited team, just resorted to kicking the Spanish and playing to hit them on the counter (almost worked). It’s says everything that the only thing people remember from the 90 was De Jong’s kung fu kick.

The 3 world cups that followed were unquestionably better in terms of on pitch product and drama. 2006 is a close one but I’d give that the narrow edge because at least entering the KO there were about 6/7 teams you felt could win it. 2002 I barely remember but at least that had some shocks, the shocks in this tournament was just teams being complete frauds and going home in the groups. My ranking of World Cups I’ve seen would be

2022, 2014, 2018, 2006, 2002, 2010.

You forgot to mention how bad and negative the final was.

South Africa was naive when bidding for 2006 WC when they thought that FIFA had morals. They learnt the hard way when Germany greased the hand of a certain Charles Dempsey and won. They were former European champions therefore it was not corruption it was put of the c game. When bidding for 2010 they had learnt their lessons and they were prepared to do as they were asked and forgot about those moral values they used in the previous bid. Guess what it worked because is the formula that has been there since Havelange was the FIFA president. The only difference is that South Africa happened to be in a continent synonymous with corruption and the what had been happening for years was frowned upon as corruption. It didn't end Qatar was next so is the next two host. None will be bother to investigate them because they have the moral compass.

No one chooses this World Cup. This was the worst World Cup. Another boring woke white guy.

Why do Europeans always suck up to black people?

It was the BEST for me.

Spain played the most beautiful and effective football the world cup has seen. You are disrespecting what might be one of the top 3 national squads in history, if not the best. Biased as fuck

I disagree with many of you're points. Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.
The ball was shit. Most everyone agreed there. Put preconceived perceptions and European bias to one side. 9 out 10 people choose this one as their best.
Really?? Who have you been asking??
It was neither the best nor the worst.
I'm old enough to remember Spain in 1982. Overated, no way. Underated, not at all. A memorable tournament definitely. The most popular for years??
Got to disagree with that opinion. 2022
had more memorable matches with more drama than most. I'm English by the way so no bias on my part. I couldn't understand why you thought that the previous tournaments finalists (Italy and France would automatically be favourites to repeat what they did before. Too many changes occur in 4 years. Interesting and thought provoking video still. Overall a great effort.

I don't get it who cares where its hosted care about the fucking game but the ball point was valid

I really hate vuvuzelas to this day, omg that's so annoying.

After watching Germany host it four years earlier this world cup was a disaster, in terms of purity it stank. The ball would go oval shape in mid air and Ghana being cheated made it worse. Oh and kung fu style Holland didn't help.

2010 FIFA World Cup was the best one ever!!!

Cap 🧢🧢🧢🧢

After the FWC Qatar 2022 is over, do you still believe South Africa is the best WC ever?

how can you say that. South Africa was THE BEST AND MORE SUCCESFUL world cup ever!!

You might be very right about Qatar being spoken about as much as 2010 in a few decades down the line. This world cup had it all, the good & the bad (esp. the bad). It was honestly a clusterf**k of emotion & I guess it will be seen as something of a South Africa 2010 ramped up to 11..

Spain won because they were a very good team, not because the ball have benefited Spain.

2022 Qatar world cup is the new best!
morocco made history
MESSI revealed he's the Goat
MBAPPE was a beast
African and Asian countries showed a great performance in the stage. AMAZING🤩🌠

For nostalgia reasons is the best

Great video BUT I hate the way you pronounced stuff like the vuvuzaelas and Jabulani

The problem was the quality of the football wasnt that good, everyone seemed scared to take risks, i hated the vuvuzelas too, worst since Italia 90

Bro, thanks for the vid

This World Cup was enjoyable imo it had its downsides but It was great especially as a 12 year old boy watching it is top 5 World Cups of all time

"If the Qatar world cup is talked about this much in 12 years it will have probably been very successful"
Uh no. It will be talked about for all of its failings.

The vuvuzelas made it the worst cup in history .

what rubbish, 2018 was the worst one ever

I start watching world cups from 1998, and the 2010 was the worst

I was 8 when this happened, but I don't remember anything about it.
