Iniesta showed his class, England disappointed and the vuvuzelas almost drowned out the commentators. As the dust settles on World Cup 2010, Betfair provides some of the tournament's key betting facts.

The 2010 World Cup, held in South Africa, was the most eagerly anticipated sports betting event of the year. Thirty-two countries competing for the coveted trophy and over £1 billion was bet in the UK alone.

From the moment Siphiwe Tshabalala put the hosts ahead in the opening game to the 16th minute of extra-time, a month later, when Andreas Iniesta scored the goal that made Spain World Champions, this was a festival of partisan passion and foot-balling finesse.

Outlined in this report is a summary of the key markets on Betfair, the world's largest betting exchange, as well as some of the more interesting betting stories from this year's World Cup.
