Polymarket opens a market on Trump at the World Cup final, and the question says more than the odds

Desk note: Wire coverage of the Polymarket launch was a single X post; this piece reads the contract's structure as a window into prediction-market normalisation rather than as a standalone market story. Where the official market mechanics remain undisclosed, the article flags the gap rather than speculate on price.
