Only seven countries have won the World Cup and therefore sport the coveted motif and England is of course lucky enough to be one of them.
The other winners are: Brazil (5 times), Italy (4 times), Germany (three times), Argentina (2 times), Uruguay (2 times) and France (1).
The only anomaly in this regard is Uruguay, who actually wear four gold stars – two for their World Cup wins and two in commemoration of their Olympic triumphs in 1924 and ’28.
The success of those tournaments actually prompted FIFA to launch the World Cup in 1930.
