Waka Waka, Minions And A Psychic Octopus: Recalling Spain's 2010 World Cup Run

Spain are back in a World Cup final for the first time since their 2010 triumph — a nostalgia trip to La Roja’s Tiki-Taka era and a fun generational contrast: Messi (22 in 2010) vs teen Lamine Yamal.
An octopus named Paul stole the show in 2010 by “predicting” eight knockout results (including Spain’s win), a quirky piece of World Cup lore.
The summer’s pop-culture soundtrack and hits live on: Shakira’s “Waka Waka” and K’naan’s “Wavin’ Flag,” plus blockbuster movies like Despicable Me, Twilight: Eclipse, Toy Story 3 and Inception.
