I remember I was taking exams during this time and while studying I watched ever match. Out off all the countries to host FIFA and thanks to ESPN was hands down the best world cup i have ever seen and I enjoyed ever moment and memory that year 2010.
ESPN made the World Cup look like the Olympics (minus the bad NBC tropes) before FOX took over. Now it looks like a poor man's Fox NFL Sunday. There's always Telemundo.
I’m not even a soccer/futbol fan, but the 2010 World Cup advertising + U2 collab turned me into one in 2010 … I still revisit this material cause it brings chills to me
45:24 "Maradona and Messi share so much. But Messi still lacks soccer's ultimate prize. Until he adds a World Cup trophy to his mantle, his Maradona Imiration can only be graded, incomplete." Well. He finally has the World Cup. I'm not a Messi fan, but it's actually beautiful that Messi finally became equivalent to his idol. Maradona. It's very sad Maradona passed away 2 years right before witnessing Messi lifting the World Cup in his own hands.
@@jimmy-stourbridge-fc8980 West Germany and Germany today are considered the same country, or else Germany wouldn't have four World Cups. But you're right about them still being West Germany in 1990
Another exciting tournament for a Netherlands fan. It's crazy they have yet to receive a star on their kit. It was fun watching them demolish Spain 5-1, but they should've done that sooner...
Khalil Khan.. SOUTH Africa, not all of Africa, one of like 55 countries in Africa. Yeah your name seems exotic, but you do show typical US ignorance. Besides the vuvuzela was Fifa's idea, the local organizing committee wanted to get rid of that cheap plastic piece of shit which had nothing to do with South Africa's traditions.
The World Cup had never taken place in Africa and there was a push from FIFA to get it in as many distinct regions as possible. With South Africa in 2010 (African continent) and Qatar 2022 (Middle East), only the Australia/Oceania region is left to host one.
I meant no disrespect. I wanted to seriously understand the importance and impact it had as a person that barely understood the game at the age I was at that time.
This World Cup on ESPN brings back so many memories....
How good was ESPN's coverage that we come back here to watch the preview special more than a decade later
Way better than Fox, that's for damn sure
the nostalgia is REAL
2021 here, this tournament still lives in my heart, great atmosphere, great matches.
I personally miss ESPN's coverage of the FIFA World Cup. I find Fox's coverage to be atrocious and quite unprofessional.
I agree completely and could someone do us a favor an sack Stuart Holden. Most annoying commentator in the history of sports.
They talk about Mexico tons like if we owe them
Same, unfortunately we'll be getting FOX again for the 2026 WC.
@@PapiQuail hey don’t blame fox
Blame espn for not bidding the right price
@@I41535D I don't blame them...I blame you.
10 years ago today! Best World Cup ever 👏🏾 South Africa was a great host
I am african too, but sorry it was not the best WC ever for me !!
2014 is.
ESPN's world cup coverage was so much better than Fox sports😪
Fr fox is no where near this perfection
Aidan Kearns da US been qualified doh 🤦🏿♂️
1000× better
JP Dellacamera is the worst announcer ever
Both fox and ESPN are owned by same company

Multitasking is not a good thing to do haha... Anyways, did you passed?
@@bigbadwolf5752 lol. yes I did
i miss 2010 so much
BeatsbyNaj I dont because i was in elementary. I miss 2014 more because 2014 World Cup show more World Cup than 2010
my favorite world cup, glad we all feel the same here, that time was something
Is there a 2019 viewer out there to witness the preview of such a great tournament? :)
Dude. To this day my fav World Cup 🔥
waltter zane I can probably agree with that
2020 baby 😩😩😩
I feel you :)
2020
Viva South AFRICA WORLD CUP 2010 I MISS THIS MOMENT
I had the good fortune to watch the world cup live in South Africa bring back such wonderful memories
Best world cup!! I'm glad my team performed great and made it to the round of 16 when everyone thought we were going out
Zac who is your team?
@@naswii4360 I assume USA because they advanced with a last minute goal vs Algeria
Aidan Kearns good point didn’t think about that
@@naswii4360 there could be other possibilities but this was an ESPN show so yeah my bet is on the US
2014 was the best World Cup. Fuck Africa.

Jose Acevedo Fr fox is azz compared to ESPN
Telemundo is goated
Their 2022 world cup coverage was epic
@@duckway4733 Production and presentation improved dramatically to an ESPN-caliber level when they took over from Univision in 2018.
True. The 2010 World Cup promo material gives me chills and got me so hyped for it
My first world cup
Kurt my second World Cup.
My 8th world cup!!!!
@@tristanrangel3555 I was born in a World Cup year 2006 so this would be my second ever but the first one I could remember
I’m not even a soccer/futbol fan, but the 2010 World Cup advertising + U2 collab turned me into one in 2010 … I still revisit this material cause it brings chills to me
I wish ESPN had the rights to Qatar 2022
Does it matter, same shit you’re still gonna watch a game
At least they kept Alexi Lalas on a leash at ESPN compared to FOX.
FoxSports could never do a preview show better than this
Fox was doo doo 💩 for the 2022 world cup
Beautiful 😍 world cup I missed those days❤

incredible call by roberto predicting slovakia and paraguay in group f
Who is watching in 2020❤️
2024 ❤ and I’m still watching this 😂
Nice to see a proper coverage and not where they spend 70% of the time talking Messi, England and USA.
What's with the Safari studio?

Can somebody explain to me the importance of having the World Cup in Africa?
Oh fuck off.
It's literally in the title you imbecile !
WORLD CUP.
The World Cup had never taken place in Africa and there was a push from FIFA to get it in as many distinct regions as possible. With South Africa in 2010 (African continent) and Qatar 2022 (Middle East), only the Australia/Oceania region is left to host one.
What importance is there in having it in US, who nobody likes because they go around starting wars everywhere in order to steal resources?
I meant no disrespect. I wanted to seriously understand the importance and impact it had as a person that barely understood the game at the age I was at that time.
