Current champion Argentina has three titles, Uruguay and France have two each, while England and Spain have one each. Italy and Germany have four titles each, with Germany having reached more finals than any other team, eight. Brazil, the only team that has participated in every World Cup, is also the most successful team in the competition, having won five titles and finished second twice. Of 80 different nations that have appeared in the tournament, 13 have made it to the final, and 8 have won. The team that wins the final receives the FIFA World Cup Trophy, and its name is engraved on the bottom side of the trophy. The only exception to this type of format was the 1950 World Cup, which featured a final round-robin group of four teams the decisive match of that group is often regarded as the de facto final of that tournament, including by FIFA itself. The golden goal rule would have applied during extra time in 19, but was not put in practice either. If scores are then still level, a penalty shoot-out determines the winner, under the rules in force since 1986 prior to that, finals still tied after extra time would have been replayed, though this never proved necessary. It is a one-off match decided in regulation time. The World Cup final match is the last of the competition, played by the only two teams remaining in contention, and the result determines which country is declared the world champion. The championship has been awarded every four years since 1930, except in 19, when it was not held because of World War II.
