Which country was the only undefeated team at the 2010 FIFA World Cup?

New Zealand, with their three draws, were the only undefeated team in the tournament, but they were eliminated in the first round.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup was the 19th FIFA World Cup, the world championship for men's national association football teams. It took place in South Africa from 11 June to 11 July 2010. The bidding process for hosting the tournament finals was open only to African nations; in 2004, the international football federation, FIFA, selected South Africa over Egypt and Morocco to become the first African nation to host the finals.

In the final, Spain, the European champions, defeated the Netherlands (third-time losing finalists) 1–0 after extra time, with Andrés Iniesta's goal in the 116th minute giving Spain their first world title. Spain became the eighth nation to win the tournament and the first European nation to win a World Cup hosted outside its home continent: all previous World Cups held outside Europe had been won by South American nations. Spain had lost their first stage group game 1-0 to Switzerland but still managed to advance to the second stage.

Don't worry, in another few years Hollywood will make a film of it with the USA as the only unbeaten side, and they will have them winning the trophy.

Stoic Kitty, only yanks would call a sport where the ball is never kicked, football. But hey football has been around for millennia, long before the yanks. That's why the rest of the world play it and the yanks can't (they only excel at sports only they play it's called being scared of the world

danobull, I think you need to read the question again and understand what it is asking before claiming the answer is wrong. It is also clearly explained in the explanation.
