Trump kept FIFA Club World Cup trophy for himself - leaving champions Chelsea to lift a replica
The FIFA Club World Cup trophy is currently in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump revealed

President Donald Trump revealed that FIFA officials gave him the Club World Cup trophy ahead of Chelseas win in inaugural competitions final.
Before the showpiece game at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey, Trump told broadcaster DAZN that he was gifted the trophy, and that it currently sits in the Oval Office.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino visited the White House, along with the trophy, in March.
They said, Could you hold this trophy for a little while? We put it in the Oval Office, Trump said. And then I said, When are you going to pick up the trophy? He says, We're never going to pick it up. You can have it forever in the Oval Office. We're making a new one.
And they actually made a new one. So that was quite excitingIts in the Oval right now, he added.
This meant that, despite upsetting the odds with their triumph over European champions Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea had to make do with the replica trophy.

Trump also quipped he could write an executive order changing the name of soccer to football.
They would call it football, but I guess we call it soccer, Trump said, referring to the sports name throughout much of the world.
The interviewer asked: What if we make an executive order that we can only say football?
I think we could do that, he added. I think I could do that.

Trump grabbed headlines throughout Sundays final. He was jeered when he appeared on the stadiums screens alongside First Lady Melania Trump, and again when he walked onto the pitch to present medals to the players with Infantino, who confirmed last week that FIFA opened a new office in New York Citys Trump Tower.
More confusion was sparked online when the president remained with the Chelsea players on stage as they celebrated, having already handed captain Reece James the trophy.
After the match, players from the English Premier League club admitted they didnt expect the president to stay with them.
I knew he was going to be here but I didnt know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy. I was a bit confused, yes, Cole Palmer, who scored twice in the game, told PA Media.
They told me that he was going to present the trophy and then exit the stage, and I thought that he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted to stay, captain James added.

I think stealing is doing a bit much. It seems at least as likely, if not more, that wildly corrupt FIFA correctly identified that he could be bought with shiny gold objects!

Edit: or was it soccer to football? I forget.

IT IS STEALING

because competitive sports are part of how we live. We the people make soccer what it is. That cup belongs to the winning team.

We the people are being peed on by this act and by this brag.

I know little about soccer but I feel peed on.

The teams that win the World Cup get to keep a gold plated replica. The original stays at FIFA (it's valued at $20m).

If that's the case, then Trump should also sign an EO that officially swaps driveways & parkways

Would deprive soooo many hack comedians of a cheap joke

Donnie probably stole Nico Hlkenberg's trophy for third place at the British F1 GP at Silverstone and replaced it with a LEGO copy.

He probably thought nobody would notice because everyone was just so glad that Hulk finally got his well-deserved and long overdue podium.

If you take a bribe, default on the promise and hang onto the emolument, this is contractual stealing, right?

I can see fifa bribing Trump to play nice during the planned events in the USA just as I can see Trump doing his usual.

These. It is a bit of a stretch to say Trump "stole" it when it's more of a bribe.

These are grown men who just won a big championship some might say the biggest football championship in the world and these grown men with tears in their eyes said to me they said sir youre doing a great job and this trophy should belong to you! We appreciate what youre doing. I said boy if only everyone in America felt that way my job would be a lot easier a lot easier

at least Im pretty sure he said this
