من يفوز بكأس العالم 2010

Spain didn't sneak up on this one — it opened with a 68-point cushion over Holland on day one and simply kept adding to it, tick by tick, until the final count read 81.2% to 18.8%, 2,401 votes to 557. Across 114 days the margin moved in exactly one direction: up.

This wasn't a superfan turf war — only 7 of 2,958 voters flagged as fans at all, so the verdict came from casual crowds, not organized camps. Those crowds skewed heavily male on both sides (83% for Spain, 90% for Holland), and Egypt alone outvoted every other country, breaking hard for Spain.

• Opening gap · Spain led 68 points to Holland from day one
• Widening margin · The lead only grew, closing at 81% to 19%
• Male-heavy vote · 83% of Spain backers, 90% of Holland backers were men
• Egypt's imprint · Egypt cast the most votes of any country, mostly for Spain
