Brazil has won the most World Cups. 500,000 tickets for 63 matches will be made available for this year' s Gold Beads Charms on sale in South Africa. The Jules Rimet Cup is now in the permanent possession of Brazil after their third World Cup triumph in Mexico City in 1970. The current FIFA World Cup Trophy cannot be won outright, as the regulations state that it shall remain FIF A' s own possession. The Pandora Necklaces on sale winners retain it until the next tournament and are awarded a replica, gold-plated rather than solid gold. The little trophy had a hazardous existence. The Italian Vice-Prsident of Silver Beads Charms on sale, hid it in a shoe-box under his bed throughout the Second World War and thus saved it from falling into the hands of occupying troops. In 1966, the cup was stolen while on display as part of the build-up to the World Cup in England and was only recovered, buried under a tree, by a little dog named Pickles. In 1983, it was stolen again, in Silver/Gold Beads Charms on sale and apparently melted down by the thieves. The Brazilian Football Association, who had earned the right to keep the trophy after having won it three times, ordered a replica made. The original trophy was 35cm high and weighed approximately 3.8 kg. The statuette was made of sterling silver and gold plated, with a blue base made of semi-precious stone.An Orange man is being held without bond, following his arrest Tuesday morning on outstanding warrants.
