In the 2002 World Cup (in South Korea and Japan) and found ill-treatment of the provision (in a thrilling quarter-final against South Korea). At the 2006 World Cup in Germany we met (in the role of the six century) French national team, which was developed for the better from game to game. and our progress on the French team (in order to Davidvia), but we been missing experience in maintaining this progress. "
However, Casillas believes already that things can go differently in South Africa.
Casillas said "Two years ago, we have shown our ability to compete with stronger teams. Contributed to the improvement of our confidence in ourselves."
Casillas and run the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after he appeared on the form has been outstanding throughout the season where he was one of the key elements in the continuation of Real Madrid in the competition with Barcelona the league title until the final phase of the competition.

Casillas made a strong presentation with the Spanish national team in World Cups 2002 and 2006, but promises to provide better offers in the 2010 World Cup.
Casillas did not have the strong line of defense in front of him as he leaves Sergio Ramos and Joan Capdevila large areas behind and in the side of the field as it seems slow in the performance of Carlos Puyol, Carlos Marchena enacted because of the large (although the force that appears in the performance of Gerard Pique).
This means that Casillas will get many opportunities in the 2010 World Cup to prove he is the best in the world.
