00:00Before they ask for this bag, let me tell you a few things about the World Cup trophy.
00:06This trophy weighs a little over six kilograms. It's made of 18-hat gold
00:11and has two malachite rings in its face. It was designed for the 1974 World Cup
00:16by Italian sculptor Silvio Gazzinaga. And if you're wondering what it represents,
00:22it's two human figures lifting the planet Earth, symbolizing effort and sporting glory.
00:27Now, here's the impressive part. It's believed to be worth more than 23 million dollars.
00:34So if it mysteriously disappeared by the end of this video, you'll know who did it.
00:39But don't worry, because this isn't even the original one. I hope.
00:44And speaking of that, the World Cup comes with some pretty exclusive rules.
00:50Only World Cup winners and heads of state are allowed to touch it.
00:53So technically, I may have already broken that rule. And here's the interesting part.
00:59World champions don't actually get to keep the original trophy. They lifting during the ceremony,
01:04celebrate with it, take photos, and then they have to give it back. And what they get,
01:09it's an official replica to keep it forever. So you can win the World Cup, but you can keep the
01:15trophy.
01:15All opinions like this is...
01:16So, let's look at this.
