I’m going slightly left field

I’m going slightly left field with Brazil. If their attack clicks, they don’t need to dominate possession or structure games the way Europe does. In knockout football, moments matter more than systems.

On stocks, I’d still look at $Flutter Entertainment PLC(FLUT)$ as the steadier long-term beneficiary of global betting demand, with $DraftKings Inc.(DKNG)$ more tied to sentiment swings.

Sleep schedule? Fully unplanned at this point.

World Cup Event: Which Team Are You Betting?

The 2026 World Cup kicks off — the biggest ever (48 teams, 104 matches, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada and Mexico) and one of the largest sports-betting events in history, with global wagers projected near $50 billion. Buying a stock is a bet on fundamentals; backing a World Cup team is a bet on form and heart — both are the same game of probability, odds and emotion. Brazil's attack, Argentina's title defense, France's stacked squad, England's "tournament curse"… everyone's got a side. So — which team are you betting to lift the trophy? And would you ride the betting stocks alongside it?
