The best from the 2010 party in the South Africa of the vuvuzela. Maradona, Lagerbäck, Svennis, Tchabalala, Sneijder and the octopus Paul are some of those who appear when Ola Bränholm and Pelle Wittheden look back. The obvious protagonist of the World Cup chronicle is the little handy man who decided the World Cup final, Andrés Iniesta. In a candid interview with Johanna Frändén, Iniesta talks about the t-shirt tribute to his dead friend Dani Jarque, about the tough start with a loss against Switzerland and of course about the fantastic feeling of having decided the world's biggest sports party.
