miss the privilage of waking up knowing your off work/school/university and you have 2 or 3 quality games to look forward to and its a sunny day outside

Except for the vuvuzelas and england's performance, I loved everything about the world cup 2010. Thank you south africa. And thanks ITV for this cracking intro.

greatest intro ever. Had to come back

Vibes in this World Cup were tremendous

Gives me the nostalgia

One of the few occasions that ITV's theme beat the BBC's.

It was perfect. Then you heard the Vuvuzelas 😂😂

Came back for the memories

I love the way ITV captured the culture of Africa with this theme! :P

So much nostalgia

Yet another footie tornament where ITV's Intro has been far superoir than it's BBC counterpart. This is a truly beautiful intro and makes me wistful about a world cup that i loved. Despite all it's drawbacks, (low scoring matches, noisy vuvuzelas, the jabulani etc) this world cup again showed footballs great passion worldwide, its global reach and influence. nation vs nation in friendly combat (though the final wasn't so friendly). plus there was SOME decent football in places Loved it

Ghana Spain would have been an interesting final.

i think ghana should get a world cup one day

I love this song, they have made it fit the world cup these brilliantly.

I remember when the final was on, I switched to ITV just to watch this intro, then switched back to BBC for the rest of the match to avoid all the breaks.

greatest world cup intro ever

Probably the last WC before all the soul was stripped from it. I miss when football was about pride of playing for your team and not chasing the money the way it has increasingly become.

thank you sooo much for uploading this to youtube i loooove it

I was so happy when south africa got the 2010 FIFA World Cup...ITVs last three world cup intros have been fantastic

Nearly 12 years since The Netherlands absolutely broke ma heart and soul

I love it, Past and Present shows the passion in football.

So greate video !!! OMG !! I miss this world cup so much !!! I think World Cup in Soutch Africa gonna be the best world cup long time ...

just found it on itunes. it called "When you come back" and its by vusi mahlasela. its off the hello afrika album

It was the first world cup I sat down and watched practically everygame unless I was busy or at skl. My best memory is when my younger bro and his freind were playing the World Cup Game and I snuck into their room and blew a vuvuzela :)

Love it!

Song is called [When i come back] by Vusi Mahlasela.

This intro brings back so many good memories (apart from England of course 😂)

Man 3 years have gone so fast!

theres more soul in this theme than the bbc one, and its much more fun and joyful :)

this song RULES

still know all the words to it :)

2010 FIFA world cup brought me special also the culture of South Africa was Amazing it reminds me other sports like Soccer , Ice Hockey , Rugby , Basketball , American Football , Bowling for the Olympics

It started this day last year :D

Ahhh loved this world cup, vuvuzelas are brilliant. Marcel Desailly was the highlight of the tournament well him and TSHABALALALALALALALALALALLA!!!!!!!!!!

Best World Cup Ever!!

Sing Sing Africa!

@kenfig Yh ive heard the Goldhawks song played on ITV's world cup coverage usually after the breaks. Its a instrumental version of it. I think this is it because when it kicks in you can tell it is it

@BDT87 Thank you! , Rlly Thank you!!!!!

wow amazing- the brazilian girl is incredibly beautiful !

ngaibuye eAfrica! : ) Greetings from Germany.

🤩

nostalgia

@kenfig I think the song your on about is Where In The World By Goldhawks.

@fenix182 no its different.. the song u are after is pop rock as u say, features guitars... the tune im after is pop. Its played near the end of the highlights show as background music when they show upcoming fixtures.

Definitely

Anyone know the tune ITV highlights show uses when advertising an upcoming fuxture?? It was used tonight (Sunday) when advertising the Holland game tomorrow. Cheers

@helpmafish200 your completely right!

What's the name of the instrumental song that's played after this intro? It's like an instrumental kinda Pop-Rock song , just with a piano, guitars and drums. It sounds like a really song and it's always on during the inside stadium montages. It would be great if anyone knows or could find out!

This is a tuuuuuuuuuuuuuune!

Anyone know the tune ITV highlights show uses when it advertises an upcoming fixture?? It was used tonight (Sunday) for the Holland game tomorrow. Its a recent tune, and massive. Thanks anyone.

@11Gibb11 First and probably last world cup where I had no work!(Summer off from uni!) I managed to watch every game thanks to dual screen on my tb to, I miss it too much! :D

@fenix182 good luck mate... finally found out the tune i was after.

ghana should get to host a world cup one day i can see the finle in accra and kenya and tanzaier should get to host a african nation cup

Whats the theme tune they have just before they go to the adverts break.

@Ali74 Is that the one I was talking about in my last comment up there. If som it's really really annoying me too because it sounds like such a nice chilled-out song.

The song is called When You Come Back by Vusi Mahlasela. Does anyone know what the song is when they about to go to adverts/commercials? It's instrumental. Thanks

This ITV version is definately better than BBC's effort; simply because it's more catchy, and has better rhythm too.

this video just wants to make you play football good inpiration :)

@ChrisHighwind well actually same i had summer off from uni and had a part time job where i only worked 2 days a week (5 hours) so i cant complain lol :D

@TranceyPig12 yea its like a flute or something, nice rhythem

so to clarify whats the name of the song???

3 more years to go.

@1JediRevan Buffon was injured in the first match

Anyone know what this song is called or where one can get it?

@stuart556 definitely.

Ronaldinho should have played in this world cup it don't matter if he is shit brazil should have still let ronaldinho play the world cup

I would like to know this as well....bafana bafana

does anyone know the name of this song?

New film called Africa United is out lol

Holland vs Spain wat a match FINALS

whats the name of this song

@Globshite atleast we'll have euro 2012 next year

Who is the blonde woman at 0.14???

@11Gibb11 Everytime I listen to this I get post world cup depression :( Watched every game!

0:52 the one and only STEVIE G, should be england captain - not bloody parker

Any one know the name of the full song ????:)

@1JediRevan Well Lampard and Gerrard both scored (Lampard's goal was not given vs Germany). Drogba was injured. I agree with your judgement about the other players, they had shite world cups (especially Rooney)!!!

Yeah usually BBC get it spot on for the intro's but this is simply better. Still, I know i'd much rather be watching the BBC, no adverts and proper pundits.

legend song who sings it

hes old but he can still play the game well he just proved it in brazil that he can still play all he needs is speed then hes back on form fuckin ronaldo lover

Can’t wait to see Russia’s

you cut off the best bit at the end -.-

0:14 PENG, anyway love the intro

@Globshite i know i missed so much i had to buy the video game!!

this world cup was unafrican i did not get the african feling like you did with 2014 you felt like you was in south america

@lu1outlaw not quite sure he is

@resilienceman it would have been very stupid if the winners get to host the next tournament that way the tournament would have been played in only a few countries like 5 or 6 countries, i think that a world cup in brazil will be awsome

@7aint9 ngaibuye eAfrica... means come on africa.

who is that blonde woman at 0:14

didn't know about this one but i still prefer the BBC one

This is better than the BBC theme song but I think that the ITV coverage is lacking compared to BBC. Adverts seriously harm it.

sing sing africa

@LiamMKiney Just like ITV did in Euro '08. That's twice in a row they've bettered the BBC! Come to think of it, the BBC haven't had a good international tournament intro since 2000...

@deanozzzzz When You Come Back by Vusi Mahlasela

0:20 thants usian bolt's son.

0:19 tht boy is cute

@GenericEmotions Ha ha the fool speaks!Its good to know you are aware of the basic ‘baby’ cases I studied in my teens. And you’re right. A lawyer in the UK is either a Barrister or a solicitor. But as a properly trained Solicitor in the UK, as a Lawyer in Ghana and an Attorney in the 4yrears prior, I think I know what I’m doing.....

@tenseman08 Haha, french?^^

@Ali74 I hope we both get to the bottom of this! Haha!

@stuart556 true m8 unless you was from spain lol
