[Football] Do Argentina keep the trophy now they've won it three times?

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

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

…..or failing that, Mike’s Bedroom

 

[Lenny Rider]

Italy won it in 34, 38 and 82, so no.

Two different trophies old boy.

Two different trophies old boy.

But World Cup nonetheless, so tournament the same.

Didn’t think it was a trophy thing, but a tournament win?

 

[Triggaaar]

We got the Fair Play Award, what more do you want?

Oo, didn't know that. That's basically better than winning. No one likes cheats.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Didn't the original Fantasy Football League show make their own World Cup with someone holding an orange or grapefruit and plunging their arm into a container of cold custard?

Italy won it in 34, 38 and 82, so no.

Perhaps that rule was specific to the Jules Rimet Trophy? - by the time Italy won the WC in 82, the Jules Rimet trophuy was already bagged by Brazil.

 

[pure_white]

not unless the Argies get themselves in a pickle and steel the trophy but that would just be barking mad

Italy won it in 34, 38 and 82, so no.

But just to throw a spanner in the works, they were two different trophies. (34 and 38 Jules Rimet Trophy, 82, FIFA World Cup). But yes, Herr Tubthumper is right, when the new trophy was introduced in 1974 the rules were changed to say that it could no longer be won in perpetuity.

EDIT, too slow. Mr 49er got there before me!

Gianni Infantino would definitely see merit in letting Argentina keep it.

Then he can SELL the design and sponsorship rights to a new one. Can’t wait to see the winning captain hoisting a giant gold Bud Light bottle above his head in 4 years’ time.

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.

 

[perth seagull]

Italy won it in 34, 38 and 82, so no.

Italy won the Jules Rimet trophy twice (34 and 38).

They have also won the current trophy twice (82 and 06).

So they haven't won either of the trophies three times and theoretically would miss out regardless.

EDIT - Oops, I see others already responded

What with Messi sleeping with it, I can see an adoption attempt being made...

A new trophy fills me full of fear, it’ll probably feature Infantino’s face or some such horrors...

Fingers crossed Messi gives it back, or things will get ugly, garish and just plain shite.

Pretty certain that when they gave the Jules Rimet to Brazil, the rule was changed with the introduction of the new trophy for 1974.

That will have been the copy given to the winners after FIFA have taken back the original post match.

 

[Jeremiah]

Brazil got to keep the trophy after their 3rd win, but seeing as it was then stolen (again) and has never been recovered probably put FIFA off from permanently awarding the trophy to a nation again

Where's the Brazilian Pickles ?
