It was a great and a wonderful experience in my life seeing African country hosting World Cup without any challenges but rather grace upon grace. It was said by football analysts who classified it from statistics to be one of the greatest World Cup competition ever. 

Many African countries participated massively in the competition and makes a greater impact in the competition with so so surprising performance specifically Ghana ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ญ Black Stars.

To start with, the World Cup commence on June and end up in July. The tournament started with South Africa v Mexico in which Siphiwe Tshabalala makes an open goal of the tournament which brought a hope in the African teams to shine in the tournament but although the match ended 1-1 draw.

Moreover, several games played in the group stages and many countries couldnโ€™t make it out of the group stages but few did. Of which Ghana was the only African country that make it up to quarter final and was knocked down by Uruguay ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡พ in a penalty shootouts. During this game, Ghanaโ€™s striker and top scorer in the tournament lost a decisive penalty in the last minute of the game by Suarez causing a hand ball penalty. 

The tournament came to finals between Spain ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ and Netherlands ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ which was so interesting in which they played a 90 minutes draw but in the extra-time Spanish midfielder Andrea Iniesta scored a decisive goal leading to the victory of the Spanish to be the winners of the 2010 World Cup tournament in South Africa.
