The Jules Rimet trophy was retired after it was won 3 times by Brazil.

Is there plans to award the team who wins the current trophy 3 times as was done with Rimet? As it stands, Germany, Argentina and Brazil have won the current trophy twice and are all eligible to win it again this year.

Four years ago, FIFA siad no after Germany made it to the Final. However, I believed the three time winner should keep it.
