Four Years Out, the 2030 World Cup Already Looks Stranger Than 2026

Desk note: Monexus ran the 2030 framing through the 2026 tournament's own scale, 48 teams, 104 matches, 39 days, rather than reaching for theoretical scaffolding. The structural story here is operational: three continents, one draw, and a federation that has not yet published the bridge between them.
