Sammy sat on the bench, his head down, his fingers nervously tapping against his shin pads. His team was about to play in the biggest match of the season, but he felt invisible. No one believed he could make a difference. He wasn’t the biggest or the strongest, and he wasn’t even sure if he would get to play.
His magic football rested beside him, glowing faintly. He barely noticed—until it suddenly pulsed brightly. Before he could react, the world spun around him. When everything settled, he found himself in a roaring stadium. The scoreboard flashed: UEFA WOMEN’S EURO FINAL – ENGLAND vs. GERMANY, 2022.
