apparently it is still a trophy,
so why is it called the World Cup and not the World Trophy?

well apparently it was originally a cup,
but then they stopped calling it a cup and started calling it a trophy, and then Brazil won it too much so they got a new one that wasn't a cup.

But the name stuck.

So there.

The trophy that Brazil got to keep wasn't a cup either
