Does the team that wins the world cup get to keep it?
The rule is that you keep it if you win it 3 times.
They are kept, if you win it. So right now since Italy won in 2006, they still have it.
If a new winner comes, like lets say Spain, Italy will pass down the trophy to Spain. And Spain will keep it for the next 4 years.
But lets say Argentina wins it, they keep the trophy for good. Because the rule is, if you have won 3 World Cups, you keep the third trophy.
When that trophy is gone, they'll bring in a new one.
Unless they changed the rule.....
