How well do you remember the 2010 World Cup? (the one in South Africa)

2010 World Cup

How much do you remember from the (fairly crap) 2010 World Cup?

The World Cup is getting into the business end of the group stage, and things are heating up.

We’ve already tested your knowledge on World Cup 2014, but if you haven’t taken that quiz, you can do so here.

So we’re casting our minds back another few years, all the way back to 2010. Ireland were absolutely robbed and definitely would have won the whole tournament if it wasn’t for Thierry Henry cheating us in the playoffs.

The tournament took place in South Africa, and controversy swept the entire thing.

People hated the ball because it was swerving too much, people hated the horns people were blowing in the crowd because they thought they were distracting (they were).

But it had its moments, as all tournaments do. But we don’t want to know if you enjoyed it, we just want to see how well you remember it.

It’s fairly tough, and it was eight whole years ago, so anything above 12/15 is very impressive.

Good luck!
