Many a true word is spoken in jest 😂 That said with the German issue clarified on here, can’t see a U turn even from FIFA.

Two different trophies old boy.

Do you recall in our youth HT FIFA ran a former winners tournament in 1981 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the competition, but the FA declined to send a team? 🤷‍♂️

Incidentally Monsieur Rimet left the building in 1956, two years before Brazil’s first victory.

So then clearly the ‘three wins‘ rule has no longer been a thing since before 2014, otherwise it would be on show at The Reichstag 😂

I stand corrected then old boy, I thought Germany had unified by 1990, so after the Jules Rimet giveaway they must have changed the rules. At least that means that Declan Rice will get his hands on the existing trophy in 2026 😂

West Germany won it once in 1974, Germany won it the other two times, different country according to FIFA.

78, 86 and 22? Brazil obviously kept the original one after winning it in 58, 62 and 70, so a whole new one for the 48 country World Cup in 2026?
