picture the scene...

England make the 2006 world cup final, but on the eve of the game paul robinson suffers a recurrence of the ?tottenham lasagne?, and cannot play. Then, calamity james puts his back out during his ?visualisation & simulation? warm up, leaving sven?s only option in goal as robert green, who according to many pundits, made the squad not because he himself is a good keeper, but because there?s no one better.
Come the final, England are holding brazil 0-0 with 15 mins to go, and sven brings rooney on for his first taste of the finals. He promptly puts England 1-0 with his first touch. Brazil throw everything they have at England in search of the equaliser, but greeno is magnificent, and makes a last minute save from ronaldinho, which is later proclaimed as even better than Gordon banks? from pele in 1970. England win the world cup and make-weight robert green is the hero.
Of course, all the media forget what they said about him before, as they sycophantically search him out for interviews.

Could happen?
