  1. 1. How do you rate the 2010 Football World Cup?



Recommended Posts

World Cup bar Germany, Chile and Uruguay was pretty boring overall. I think Spain were representative of the World Cup overall in this way. They scored something like 8 goals in 7 games? Possibly making them the worst winners in terms of goals per game ratio?

3/10 for me. The refs didn't do enough to prevent the players diving, England ended up with another reason to introduce goal-line technology, the vuvuzelas were annoying as hell, and the final wasn't really a football match, it was more like WWE! Oh, and yet again, an English ref screwed up in cup final, this time, costing the Netherlands the World Cup that they so rightly deserved.

England... and Mexico (although not "goal-line" tech, but some kind of video tech...). The final was really disapointing by all means...

I'm so looking forward Brasil 2014...

Great that the Netherlands have won :D

I'm joking btw:

Some great teams this year. England sucked, which isn't surprising at all :/

The bad:

  • The ball
  • Vuvuzelas
  • Refereeing
  • Disappointing performances France and England
  • The Finalists
  • Diving
  • Underwhelming Brazil once again
  • Seeing Suarez made a national hero
  • Tevez

The good:

  • Germany's football
  • Beautiful Stadiums
  • Ghana
  • Netherlands may finally win
  • Diego Forlan
  • Ozil

Just off the top of my head.

Nice list: Pretty much agree with most of what you have said!

I would add Siphiwe Tshabalala's goal for South Africa vs Mexico and Von Bronkhorst's goal vs Uruguay. There were others, but for me I enjoyed those the most!

good comments here. this was fun like all other world cups, but i agree the vuvuzelas and the refs were major issues. not sure if i'm disappointed with the US or not, didn't expect them to get even that far...but once they did it was a letdown they couldn't get to the quarterfinals at least.

i'd say this was a decent world cup, not the most exciting, but at least the outcome and the location offered something different.

It was a shame to see how empty some of the stadiums were too. Not sure what happened there, couldn't they give more cheap (or free) seats away to locals?

The attendance at stadiums during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa stood at 3.18 million after all 64 games, Fifa said in a statement. This is the third highest attendance of all World Cup tournaments, with the US in 1998 recording an attendance of 3.59 million people and Germany in 2006 recording 3.36 million.

So not too bad when all is said and done!

I'm only disappointed at our strikers. Not a single goal was scored by a striker. Something is REALLY wrong with that.

Wait, we had strikers?!?! Jozy's work rate was an eye opener this tournament, but yeah.

I give it a 3/10. Most teams played nowhere near their potential, and horrible calls was the norm from Henry's hand ball on.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
