The World Cup has a long and storied history dating back to 1930. A win earns you immortality as a player or manager in your home country — as well as the honour of wearing a star above the national crest on the team jersey.
It’s safe to say some countries have had more success, and wear more stars, than others at the tournament. Here are all the past winners, with Spain represented.
