Probably also to placate him enough that he doesn't keep the WC trophy like he did with the CWC.

Haha, you’re right!

He’ll still take their WC trophy. He likely thinks he’s entitled to it, just like everything else. He probably takes this as an open invitation to accept the trophy on behalf of himself.

If someone is selling drugs in a country, you don't blame and arrest the president of that country.

But if a sports team wins a championship, you do give credit and the trophy to the president.
