2010 World Cup Spanish Team XI : And Where Are They Now?

Spain won the World Cup for the first time in their history in 2010 and that signaled the zenith of a 12-year domination of international football by the European nation.
The team who brought it home in South Africa is still referred to as the Golden Generation of Spanish football, and today, 12 years after their triumph, we want to see where the starting XI of that Golden Generation are.
This is the 2010 World Cup-winning Spain team and where they are right now.
Iker Casillas
Sergio Ramos
Carles Puyol
Gerard Pique
Joan Capdevilla
Sergio Busquets
Xabi Alonso
Xavi
Andres Iniesta
Pedro
David Villa

Their starting XI itself was this scary that we forget that these guys played while fernando torres, cesc fabregas, victor valdes, david silva, juan mata were all on the bench. Thats how scary spain was from 2008-2012

[@PristianoPenaldoSUIIII]

Spain 2010 was pretty much Barcelona 2010-11 without Barca's star player and they still dominated the world cup. That should tell you just how good that Barcelona team was.

Mannn the 2 years leading up to and following this WC were just some of the most amazing years of modern football ❤

[@SpiceBoy7UK23]

The 2 subs who came into the final ; Cesc Fabregas & Fernando Torres are worth mentioning. Torres was a fantastic man of the match in the 2008 euro final under the previous coach. It was essential in building the base. In that final, his main contribution was that throw-in to Cesc Fabregas. The latter made the assist in the 2010 final but just as important; he was possibly the best player at Spain's next tournament in Euro 2012. He had to play as a false-9 because Villa & Torres both got injured and missed the 5 games between 1st match & the final. Fabregas thrived in that role and the main man in carrying out Del Bosque's tactics. It was a genius piece of improvisation bv the coach too because any other country would have been eliminated without a Centre forward. Del Bosque lost both of his strikers after the first game....only Spain can win a tournament without a recognized number 9.

[@Alva2k]

As a Dutch person this amazing Spain team made me cry myself to sleep for the only time in my life. One of these videos on the Dutch players in this final would be interesting, seeing as some absolutely shocking players made an appearance (like Elia, Braafheid) as opposed to the Spain team which were filled with mostly legends

As a german, i heard fans bitch about how we could have won more trophies between 2006-2016. But how are you supposed to with such a one of a kind national team? Nobody could touch the spanish between 2007-2012.

True. Also now you can forget about it because germany is weak . They dont have strong team and no gas

At the time, Fabregas was my all time favorite (and Villa my favorite starter). However, now I’ve come to love and respect Puyol and the legendary dedication he has to club and country

Messi could have played for Spain 🇪🇸 due to his grandparents being from there, but decided to play for Argentina 🇦🇷

Nah Messi himself said that he would prefer to win trophies with Argentina. With Spain it wouldn't be the same.

[@francelonelo9187]

technically, he also can played for italy by his maternal grandparent

No, his grandparents are from italy, messi is a italy surname. He could play for spain because he moved to spain kind young to play for barcelona.

Puyol was short, so i always thought that they would use him as a RB.

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

yes, but his ability to read the game, his work rate in defending and chasing the ball, as well as his clinical tackles are all irreplaceable in the defense.

[@ebigarcia95]

He started as a RB with Van Gaal (Dutch Manager) but he moved to CB due to his game view

[@imimran8506]

What a team this was best team in football history ever

[@PheraAustiger]

And the thing about this situation was that players came from RMA and FCB only,plus RM and FCB also dominated UEFA during that Era also -Then other peeps would say Current City or Liverpool would've beaten this WORLD CUP winning RMA+FCB duo
