Street art depicting former Brazilian football star Pele is seen on a street leading into the Morro da Babilonia favela in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on April 15, 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.
