Imagine That…
Messi is unable to afford growth hormone treatment … and Spanish football loses its charitable nature
Technology helps prevent decades of human error in football … and West Germany claims victory at Wembley in 1966
Substitutions are never introduced to football … and the game is rid of greed and disloyalty
