As a data-driven football analyst who's seen it all, I can't help but smile at Brazil's audacious 2029 World Cup bid. The official move isn't just patriotism—it's a calculated play grounded in Opta-style analytics, stadium economics, and geopolitical charm. With FIFA’s new format unfolding in Miami, Brazil’s strategy isn’t about emotion—it’s about legacy, infrastructure, and the quiet confidence of a man who knows when to make a move. This is soccer as chess—played with wit.
