Forlan had a PhD in taming the Jabulani, 11 years later and I still remember how devastating he was at that World Cup. Kids won't understand how immense 2000-2014 was, this was the golden age of international football and if this years Euros and Copa America is anything to go off football is coming back to it's best again.
There were quite a few key players that made me fall in love with the beautiful game but it all stemmed from this tournament. It was watching LD score the most clutch goal in US history, it was Forlan absolutely lighting up the whole world every single time he took the pitch in South Africa, it was Iniesta and Xavi’s magisterial connection in the middle of the pitch, and Casillas’ absolutely saintly goalkeeping heroics. How could I not fall in love with the game after all that??
I watch world cups since italy 1990 Uruguay and forlan in 2010 were absolutely brilliant. Forlan was an absolute beast. Great games. Absolutely mindlowing moments.
¿Forlán Subestimado? No lo veo así, para nada. En Mundial 2010 la FIFA lo premió con el Balón de Oro, que se entrega al MEJOR jugador del Campeonato. Se lo entregó a un jugador que representó a una selección que fue cuarta del torneo. Ningún español lo obtuvo y candidatos había (como se sabe, España fue Campeón en Sudáfrica 2010).
That's not what it means, you don't understand. What this means is that Diego Forlan is rarely highlighted by the media, which means underrated. and he may be great at football, but he rarely gets credit.@@andresbravo704
If you look at the type of skill it took to strike those goals forlan is a master the goal keepers didnt even go for some of the saves because they never though he would pick a spot and and blast it away from 20 -30 feet one of the best 10s I ha e ever seen
Diego Forlan.. istg man he's the best when it comes to using both ur feet to shoot the ball from almost any position near the penalty box. What a sensational legend.
Storytime: I was down in the Florida keys after a long day of fishing and we turned on the TV and tuned into the Spanish channel with all these futbol highlights. It was the same guy scoring over and over again. We were thinking, "Who is this guy?" Then we saw his name was Diego Forlan. Never heard of him until that day but kept him in mind. Then this world cup came and when I saw he was playing for Uruguay, I knew he was going to dominate. Just unbelievable
New country new culture new whether Confidence/Luck/Sharpness and the last thing is boots and pitch (story from sir alex) But when he start to score, he done it consistency and most of it is beauty.
Forlan scored some of these out of the box goals against some of the top teams in that world cup including Netherlands & Germany. His goal against Ghana was also crucial for taking Uruguay further in that world cup.
He put the nation on his shoulders very few will have a World Cup like him pure greatness at the greatest stage of them all the World Cup he played his heart out
most underrated player in football history. his 2010 worldcup performance is the 2nd best worldcup performance by an individual after Maradona. He won 2 European Golden Boot while playing for the clubs like Villareal and Atletico Madrid in Prime La liga. Forlán is an absolute legend, master in long range shots and bending.
Watched 2006 WC but did not follow it... Was 16 when I watched 2010 WC. Was really impressed by Forlan & Robben's performance! Started following football from then on
This world cup will always be special for me due to the marvellous performance of Diego Forlan. I can never be tired of watching the goals he scored during the world cup. An absolute beast and a true legend of the game. Football is beautiful in so many ways because of players like Forlan.
1:06 you can hear the uruguayan comentator on the background screaming: "Gol de Uruguay Forlan", and later "Uruguay noma', Uruguay que no ni no". At this point I was a 9 y/o at my aunt's house in Montevideo (Uruguay's capital city), and I swear that I'll NEVER forget that match against Ghana, that goal, those moments, the passionate casting, and my cousin and I jumping in the bed and screaming in joy. Nice memories... From this world cup I grew up to admire such a player like Forlan, he inspired a lot of kids, not only here in Uruguay.
Uruguay could've perfectly won that World Cup. The match against Netherlands was stolen, and still, Uruguay managed to score 2 goals without Suárez. Uruguay VS Spain is the epic final that we all should've seen, but it wasn't possible...
It is he won it deservedly over Xavi or Iniesta, spain deserved the World Cup but Forlán deserved the best player of the tournament he got and would have been nice to see him reach final at least with Uruguay. Messi was clear ballon d’or winner for 2010 though even tho they always say it was robbed 😂. Messi was clearly the best individual player that year winning golden boot/pichichi from Europe/la liga and ucl. Only thing missing was ucl trophie. And Iniesta was injured like the whole season only played few matches in the wc and was key for the final. Forlán and messi were the best those years. Forlán was coming from 2 golden boots the previous years before the Messi/cr7 era.

Sublime master of the far-out thunderbolt strike. And master of knowing how to put the ball just under the cross-bar. Brilliant player,who lit up the tournament.
Still remember a newspaper my dad bought, it said on the headlines: “goalkeepers and players complain about the Jabulani… but this man tamed it like no other” and Forlán picture below the article.
he's underrated, he was a great performer more than any other football player up to now. His Long Range Goals with both legs were magically. No one can break his record currently

The most consistently impressive highlight reel in the history of the World Cup. ALL his goals are bangers.
Even his penalty was top corner!!!!
All his goals are outside the box (exceptthe penalty), you don't see those often these days. What a player 👏.
6th goal isnt from the outside
It was also the Jabulani ball during the 2010 World Cup. Many players made great long-distance goals!
player like him is the best versus a defending team
@@thedictationofallah 6th goal was a masterpiece, beats all of them

Likes it bro
I think Forlan has always been underrated and if his career at man utd went well I’d be the best of the world at time
All his goals are magical
How this guy went his first 30 games at united goalless I’ll never know
Form is temporary..... class is permanent
He was unlucky.
Some players find it difficult to mixup with the team mates and new environment just see... How lethal scorer he is with national side
I don't think he started all his games there, he was more of a super sub which never worked out for him
New country new culture new whether

Was so fun watching him as a kid that I had to buy his 2010 World Cup kit. Love him.
He goes down as my favourite centre forward! ❤️❤️
An absolutely underrated gem. Incredible. Purely incredible.
Every goal was brilliantly done. Even the penalty.

What happened to him?
he retired@@klj2382
Forlan looks so Italian, he could hundred percent pass as an Italian. Incredible how much italian heritage there is in Uruguay and Argentina
Shooting outside the box with both legs 😮
he wasn't a human being. No player would ever stood a chance against him nor even Messi, it's just that he was underrated
I remember watching him when I was a kid, asking myself how could someone be so class 🔥
Que Copa maravilhosa foi essa de 2010. Saudades deste ano!! Forlán foi um dos protagonistas dessa Copa
Forlan un fenomino..AUF uruguay 🇺🇾
Leyenda de Uruguay. Saludos de canada.

2010 the best? Were you living under the rock when 2014 WC happened? But guess what you're an Indian maybe that is why
The best wc was 2006. Almost all the Teams were equipped with great players and Brazil squad was insane in that wc.
@@Tushar__Sharma
I agree for me 1) 2006 2)1998 3)1982 4)1986 5) 1970 are the best world cups

I became Uruguayian fan because of Forlan. Suarez, Kavani and Forlan was most underrated trio in 2006 WC

Cavani
First World Cup I watched was 6 and I remember it vividly
Man is pure clutch 💥

twas a treat to watch him in 2010 WC, all Uruguayan matches were exciting.
Right or left foot. Simply spectacular. Fantastic player.
Só fez golaço !!!
Such a beast with accuracy and power both , + use of both feet equally made him more dangerous
Melhor jogador da Copa 2010.
One of my favorite players. I was very satisfied when he one copa America 2011 with Uruguay.

Every goal was magnificent
He is a reason why I support to uruguya .. from Nepal 😍
Forlan and the Jubilani ball a match made in heaven
You just wonder how far they couldve gone if the free kick wasnt given to ghana (it was a dive) and suarez had played the semis
And if the goal keeper didn’t make that one step
Uruguay could've perfectly won that World Cup.
The match against Netherlands was stolen, and still, Uruguay managed to score 2 goals without Suárez.
Uruguay VS Spain is the epic final that we all should've seen, but it wasn't possible...
He even played at ISL for Mumbai City At 2016.
What a fantastic player!
He was a nightmare for opponents, respect to Forlan.

Incredible, all of his goals is puskas worthy even his penalty, confidence in hitting top
2000-2010, the best decade for football

And master of knowing how to put the ball just under the cross-bar.

keep in mind that he was leading the likes of Suarez and Cavani. That really stands out.
