Johannesburg, 11 July 2010 – The night tiki-taka found its cathedral.
It took one extra-time heartbeat, a slaloming pass from Cesc Fàbregas and the instep of Andrés Iniesta to seal a final richer in bruises than flourishes, yet Spain walked out of Soccer City as rightful heirs to football’s throne. On the Spain 2010 print the foosball figures line up in neat Blaugrana navy, but under the orange glare of a South-African winter the men behind the silhouettes survived karate kicks, flying studs and the eternal question: could purity prevail?
Xavi and Iniesta answered by treating possession like poetry—6-8-10 syllables, a haiku of one-touches. “If we keep the ball,” Xavi later smiled, “nobody can hurt us.” Sergio Busquets, blunt as a warehouse key, admitted the players counted completed passes in their heads “just to annoy the Dutch.” Gerard Piqué says he still hears Iker Casillas before every match: “Un minuto más, muchachos”—one more minute, lads. Casillas had repeated the mantra at 115 and 116 before making the save of his life from Arjen Robben’s sole-to-grass breakaway.
Yet the final hinged on a vow born two years earlier in Vienna. After Euro 2008 Xavi told Iniesta: “Next time it’s your goal.” In minute 116, he made good—Fàbregas slipped Iniesta through, the Dutch back line tore like old parchment, and the little manchego wrote history across Edwin van der Sar’s successor’s net. “I thought of Dani Jarque first,” Iniesta said, pulling off his jersey to reveal the tribute to the late Espanyol captain. “Then I felt the whole country on my shoulders—and it was light.”
Four years later, Johan Cruyff confessed in El País: “Spain taught Holland how to be Dutch again.” High praise, delivered with typical Cruyffian sting.
The foosball tableau on this Spain football keepsake captures that golden moment: Casillas (No.1) towering alone, the Puyol-Piqué spine, the velvet midfield trio and David Villa poised to strike. Freeze-frame the era when tiki-taka ruled continents. Hang the Spain 2010 World Champion design and let every wall recall Iniesta’s right foot and Howard Webb’s weary whistle.
Bring home the elegance—this soccer poster is more than décor; it’s a masterclass in patience and courage rendered in miniature. Own the football wall art that whispers “¡Campeones del Mundo!” each time you pass.
