The World Cup isn't the Jules Rimet trophy any more.

The Jules Rimet is the one they gave to Brazil to keep when they won it for the third time.

Before they showed the replays of the penalty being scored, I really thought it was another Geoff Hurst did it/didn't type of controversy. Shouldn't have been a penalty in the first place, though.

Forza Azzurri!!

But isn't Jules Rimet the person on the actual trophy?

I'm bored of it already.

May flick over to Big Brother, they're doing a tennis task.

yipee

FORZA AZZURRI!!!

Header from Materrazzi, makes amends for giving away the "penalty".

There a strangely subdued atmosphere in the stadium

But isn't Jules Rimet the person on the actual trophy?

No person according to this:

With the Jules Rimet Cup now in the permanent possession of Brazil after their third World Cup™ triumph in Mexico City in 1970, FIFA commissioned a new trophy for the tenth World Cup™ in 1974. A total of 53 designs were submitted to FIFA by experts from seven countries, with the final choice being the work of Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga.

He described his creation thus: "The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory".
