Fans of Flamengo and Vasco da Gama football teams gather to watch the Carioca derby match on a giant screen in the Pavao-Pavaozinho-Cantagalo favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on February 4, 2024. With its famed "jogo bonito," iconic stars, and record five World Cup titles, Brazil is known worldwide as the "land of football." But is it still? The country of Pele, Garrincha, and Ronaldinho, which once wowed the world with a style so stunning it drew comparisons to dance, has not won the World Cup since 2002 or a Ballon d'Or since Kaka in 2007.
