Where is the Original Jules Rimet Trophy?

April 15th, 2006 | by: WC Bob | View Comments

Our friends over at Off the Crossbar pointed us in the direction of this informative article by Simon Kuper that details the history of the trophy that 32 teams would love to take home this summer. We always love a good mystery. We also enjoy Mr. Kuper’s writing. We’re looking forward to getting our hands on his latest book, Soccer Against the Enemy: How the World’s Most Popular Sport Starts and Fuels Revolutions and Keeps Dictators in Power. If anyone has read it or wants to do a book review of it leave a comment or drop us a line bob [at] worldcupblog.org.
