Description

Without football, Nelson Mandela might never have become president of South Africa, and were it not for FIFA's loopholes Africa could be enjoying the fruits of a football-induced windfall.

In Imagine that. Football young historian Michael Sells reveals the most influential decisions in the history of football and reveals how they might have changed the world.
