Which English players have been sent off in the world cup?

In the 1990 world cup final between Argentina and West Germany, played in Italy the Argentinean Marco Simone was sent of, Dezotti followed. So this was the first two players that were sent of since 1930.

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.....
