If we're talking about the FIFA world cup, then no. If we're talking about world cups in general, then you need to include all sports and all genders where a world cup is contested.
Also Rugby Union world cups?
Rugby league world cups?
you need to get totals for all 'world cups'

He did, but it was stolen again in 1983 and never found. The one you see these days is a gold replica.
the first every 'world cup' trophy was given to the Brazilen team after their 3rd victory in the competiton in 1970
the one you see is not the original
(unless you mean the one gien to the brazilan FA to keep was stolen in 1983?😏)

The 'Jules Rimet' trophy was nicked in London, but found by Pickles the dog, and was given to the Brazilian side in 1970 after their 3rd World Cup win.
The World Cup we see now was first won in 1974 by West Germany, but I don't remember it getting pinched in 1983???
Can anyone else add anything?

no.

Your question was, how did england do in their very first world cup game? the answer was that they beat Chile on 25th June, USA did not beat England until the 2nd game on 29th June so how could it have been England's first world cup game as you cited? As I said the final result of the group was Spain (top) and England (2nd) go through (of course they where ultimately knocked out as you say because they did not win the world cup in 1950 🙄 And again as I said USA finished bottom of the group and were eliminated at the first hurdle.

spain played the other group winners to decide the wold cup champions, brazil, sweden and an already qualified uruguay.

edit: how did england do in their very first world cup game?
You later asked without using the word 'game'
Edit:
Looks like you aren't smart enough to read your own posts, go back and have a look at your first post, it's just that I replied to the 2nd of your posts instead of your first that's all.
Edit:
They were not knocked out in the group stage as your post implies, they beat a team but I cannot remember who off the top of my head in the last 16, and I think they were knocked out by Portugal in extra time in the 1/4 finals
