DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach has admitted that the cup given to
them this summer by Fifa did not survive the team's victory
celebrations unscathed.

The chief of Germany's football association (DFB) has revealed that
one of the team's triumphant players has damaged their World Cup
trophy.

Joachim Low's men defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final after extra-time
to win the fourth world title in their history, following on from
1954, 1974 and 1990 victories.

The Germany squad were welcomed home from Brazil to jubilant scenes
and toured Berlin with the trophy during midweek - but may have
celebrated a little bit too hard as their World Cup trophy has been
damaged by an unknown member of the team.

"At one point, a small piece of our World Cup trophy was chipped off,"
DFB president Wolfgang Niersbach is quoted by Die Welt as saying. "But
do not worry! We have specialists on the case who can fix it.

"We have investigated persistently who it was that damaged the trophy,
but the investigation was concluded without a result."

Luckily for Germany, the cup they have been given by Fifa is just a
replica of the World Cup trophy they were presented with at the
Maracana on July 13, which is estimated to be worth over EURO 10 million
(£8m).

Fifa - it would seem wisely - tends not to trust football associations
with the trophy after the original World Cup award, the Jules Rimet
trophy, had a history of being a target for thieves before being
stolen for good in 1983 from Brazil.
