FC Dallas World Cup Headquarters

Well, the 2010 FIFA World Cup has come and gone, and the tournament certainly was a historic one.  From controversial officiating to unbelievable upsets, there was no lack of drama at the world's greatest sporting event. 

There are so many standout memories from the last month: the implosion of France; the fall of superpowers like Italy, Argentina and Brazil; team USA's dramatic survival of the group phase; the eerie talents of Paul the psychic octopus; and of course, Spain's first-ever finals appearance and World Cup championship. 

FC Dallas hosted watching parties all World Cup long. Check out highlights from our Mexico watching parties in the Pizza Hut Park Stadium Club:
