Can’t be any joy in that for either team.
There’s a great documentary called Next Goal Wins about that American Samoa team
Is that the documentary about an irish backpacker that ended up coaching them ?
Awesome documentary,they’re a seriously loveable team.
No, a MLS coach comes down from the US to train the team!
Yeah a Dutch lad and he’s mad as a bag of shpiders
Is there a lovable fat kid in it? Like in the movies?
No doubt we would scrapea 2-0 win and the result would be hailed as a success.
still ranked higher than Ireland
Not actually true as Micronesia isn’t an official FIFA qualifying country and the team was made up mainly of under-23 as it was an Olympic qualifier. The Australia vs American Samoa match is still the biggest win.
…should have read the article first. My bad… Red thumbs welcome.
What a laugh…..qualification for the Olympics.
