Confirming trophy details

I’m recalling information about the Jules Rimet Trophy. According to various sources, it's made of gold-plated sterling silver and has a base of lapis lazuli. I’m trying to verify its dimensions: it should be 35 cm tall and weighs 3.8 kg. I checked Wikipedia, and it confirms that it was designed by Abel Lafleur and awarded for the first time in 1930 to Uruguay. So, I’ll go with 35 cm for the height.Exploring football history

The original Jules Rimet Trophy was stolen twice—first in 1966 in England, later recovered by a dog named Pickles, then stolen again in 1983 in Brazil and never recovered, likely melted down. Brazil was awarded the trophy permanently in 1970 after three World Cup wins, and they later created a replica. The current FIFA World Cup Trophy, designed by Silvio Gazzaniga, is 18-carat gold, 36.8 cm tall, and weighs 6.1 kg. It's essential to include historical details, like the first match at Estadio Pocitos, where France played Mexico and the USA faced Belgium. The first goal was scored by Laurent at 19 minutes.Clarifying historical football events

Lucien Laurent scored the first goal from a cross by Ernest Liberati. I double-checked and confirmed that Jean Nicolas didn't play in 1930, as he came later. The match took place in chilly winter conditions in Montevideo, with snow flurries and famously served halftime tea instead of water. The first hat trick was scored by Bert Patenaude of the USA against Paraguay on July 17, 1930, at Estadio Parque Central. There's been confusion about crediting one of his goals to Tom Florie, but FIFA recognized Patenaude's hat trick in 2006.
