[edit] World Cup Winners
Australia has never won the World Cup... so I removed that bit.
[edit] Jules Rimet trophy
The various online sources I have looked at seem very confused about some of the details of the trophy. Some say it weighed 3.8 kg, others 1.82 kg (quite a difference!). Some say it was solid gold, others gold-plated silver (though the Brazilian replica appears to be definitely gold-plated silver). I have left both these details unchanged in the hope that someone can come up with something definitely authoritative.
Also, though the majority seem agreed that Barassi was VP of FIFA, some say that he was President of the Italian Football Federation (I suppose he could have been both.) Vilĉjo 17:15, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
- The best online authority I can find is probably the official fifaworldcup.com, which gives the weight and composition as here.Vilĉjo 18:01, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
How come there is no picture of the Jules Rimet Trophy here? It looks like the current trophy is the Jules Rimet trophy because it is placed next to that paragraph. This page should qualify for a "fair use" picture too. Witty lama 14:55, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Eight-sided or ten-sided
Is the cup really eight-sided (octagonal)? I think it is tensided. On the picture (the German wiki article has one) we see clerly tree sides pointing forward. Then, near the hands of Nike (The Hand of a Goddess...) we see an edge. Were the cup eigthsided, near the hands would be no edge, it would be a single plate. So: on the front side we see five plates, and on the backside five different ones. That makes ten. The foot of the trophy is eightsided, but that's nog where they played for. It's ten-sided. -DePiep 12:32, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Which language?
The article says the regarding the engraved winner's name: The text runs like "— 2002 Brasil", i.e. in English.. It's either in English ("Brazil") or it's in the winning teams's language ("Brasil"). Which is it? Tonywalton | Talk 08:29, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

- You're right. It is in English, "Brazil". As every winners name is. I saw a picture on the BBC-site (could not refind; I misspesseld). But we at my home here do not say Brazil in English. We say something like Bwazieuw. Just for the fun. I'll correct the article, not my fun ;-). -DePiep 21:16, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Childish vandalism
Sombody keeps messing with names and dates on this article. Suggest people keep an eye on it and maybe protect the lage for a while. Big in albania 11:26, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
yea i agree, i thaught it was solid silver with gold plate not just solid gold, although i may be wrong. User:fwed66 14:23, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm rather new to this; I'm not yet a registered user. I tried my first edit yesterday, correcting a mistake in the table of winners, near the bottom of this page. In that table, the line for Brazil was incorrect: 3|5 (should be (3|2|5) and the line for Uruguay is was incorrect 3|3|6 (which should be 2|0|2, as Uruguay have only won twice, not six times!). Then a few minutes later my change was changed back to the original version by Physicq210 using some kind of "anti-vandal" device? However, my edit was a correction, not vandalism! Perhaps I am misunderstanding how it works. Are any edits made by casual users automatically classified as vandalism (even if they are genuine corrections) and immediately removed? Also - the table headings; Trophy||FIFA World Cup||Total, don't really line up properly with the columns (and these headings should be: Jules Rimet Trophy, FIFA World Cup Trophy, Total.
[edit] Flaminio Bertoni?
The article names Bertoni (Milan) as the manufactorer of the FIFA W.C. (about 1974). But the Italian Designer Flaminio Bertoni died in 1964. He did design the Citroën DS and 2CV (thanks, Flame). How does this name appear here? Is this to be corrected? -DePiep 20:02, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
- Solved: FIFA writes that Bertoni was the manufacturer, i.e. a factory. Not the person Flaminio Bertoni then: [1]. -DePiep 19:14, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Jules Rimet
The article mentions how the Jules Rimet trophy was given to Brazil after their third victory and also states no one can win the new one outright but is not particularly clear on why the Jules Rimet trophy was given to Brazil. Did the original FIFA rules from the 30s say that the first team to win it 3 times would get to keep it or was this decided later or what? Nil Einne 14:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Passed GA
I reviewed the article and I believe it has what a good article should have. It is easy to understand, well written, has references (but could have some more), no POV statements, it's stable and contains images to illustrate.
