At first I thought this was a silly joke by you, probably because you were bored.
Of course the whole idea of 'passing the baton' is improbable and pointless. Eg: Croatia were the first team to beat Italy after the World Cup, so they would be World Champions according to your scenario.
Then I glanced at Mike's answer and thereafter perused the website he recommended. To my horror, I discovered that such a thing does exist, and has been going on for sometime. I then recalled how Scotland claimed themselves to be the Unofficial World Champions, after they became the first team to beat then World Champions England in 1967.
So goodonya mate and give Mike his 10pts for the correct answer.

it's italy
i answered this before
i'm going by the world cup matches because they decide the world champion, friendlies don't...and qualifying just does that,
gets you to the world cup
the unofficial championship concept didn't come until after scotland beat england and that was 94 years after england first won it......... it's like rewriting history
hey, the usa won it twice
then your answer would be uruguay
then why have a world cup to decide the whole thing?

A team first has to be champion, it is reasonable that uruguay has not been champions, why because of their institution...
