After a month of matches, the 2010 FIFA World Cup Tournament is over, with Spain claiming its first ever trophy, the Netherlands placing second, and Germany taking third place. 32 teams came to South Africa last month, and the eyes of the world were upon them as television and online viewership broke records, and in many places productivity dropped sharply when matches were being played. Collected here are photos from the second half of the tournament (see earlier entries: 1, 2, 3), the action on the fields, and the reactions of those following the games in both South Africa and their home countries, as we bid farewell to the 2010 World Cup.

World Cup 2010: Spain return to rapturous welcome
BBC Sport – Football – World Cup 2010: Spain return to rapturous welcome
|
Spain’s victorious World Cup squad have returned to Madrid amid scenes of joyous celebration in the capital city. An estimated one million people lined a five-mile route in the Spanish capital as the team paraded in an open-top bus. Captain Iker Casillas had earlier carried the trophy down the steps of the plane as the squad made a triumphant return from South Africa. The players then went on to meet Spain’s royal family and Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero. And the celebrations concluded with the bus parade that snaked through the heart of Madrid, as firefighters hosed down fans sweltering in 40C temperatures and Spanish air force fighter jets flew overhead trailing the colours of the national flag. |
