Rihanna breaks FIFA etiquette by holding World Cup trophy

July 15, 2014

Rihanna proved, rather unwittingly, that she's earned her “Bad Girl” moniker at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

According to FIFA regulations, only winners of the World Cup or heads of state may touch the awarded trophy, but Rihanna held and posed with the golden accolade during Team Germany’s after-party celebration.

The “Diamonds” singer posted images to Twitter showing her holding the team-only trophy with Germany’s Miroslav Klose, Luca Podlski, Bastian Schweinsteiger and goal-winning World Cup star Mario Gotze.

While posing is one thing, the 26-year-old music superstar did not stop there.

Rihanna wrote in a tweet: “I touched the cup, held the cup, kissed the cup, took a selfie wit the cup!!! I meeean…….what is YO bucket list looking like bruh?”

And it wasn’t just the pop star who broke the rules. Mario’s girlfriend, Ann-Kathrin Brommel, and Sami Khedira’s girlfriend, Lena Gercke, were also photographed mugging with the 18-karat gold trophy.

The action is not illegal, nor is it punishable, but it is frowned upon.

Rihanna was spotted earlier at the final World Cup game hanging out with Brazilian model Adriana Lima.
