Welcome to 'Glitchtory', a fascinating exploration of alternate histories where small changes lead to profound global impacts. In this episode of 'What If', we delve into a world devoid of the world's most beloved sport - football. Explore how a single meeting in 1863 London could alter the fabric of society, geopolitics, and even our everyday language. Instead of football, other sports and pastimes evolve to fill the void, but none match the universal appeal and connection football once brought. Join us as we uncover the ripple effects of a world without the World Cup, Pelé, or the unifying magic of shouting 'goal'.

Witness this alternate reality through extensive research and speculative analysis, and consider the broader implications on culture, economy, and community. This isn't just a story about missing a game – it's a reflection on the interconnectedness of our world, and what happens when one of its key threads is removed.
