Imperfect Subjunctive Vs Conditional

Is it possible to replace the imperfect subjunctive with the standard conditional tense in any of the examples below?

John hoped that we would win our match.
Juan esperaba que ganáramos nuestro partido. (ganaríamos)

Mary hoped that we would ring him.
María esperaba que le llamáramos. (llamaríamos)

His girlfriend gave me the money so that I would buy a new tracksuit.
Su novia me dio el dinero para que comprara un chándal nuevo. (compraría)

Many thanks in advance.
