The World Cup trophy is not a cup, or reasonable facsimile thereof,
because in its early days the ball was kicked a lot more often? :D

It used to be a cup from the 30's to the 70's. It was called the Rimet
Trophy back then. It's got an interesting history and a lot of politics
behind it over the years.

The U.S. keeper, Tim Howard, is another Everton boy so it's another tie I
have to the U.S. team. He's a great keeper (that actually has tourette
