Zatman Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 When Micronesia lost the opening match of the Pacific Games 30-0 to Tahiti, they probably thought it could not get any worse than that. They were wrong. In a scoreline tournament organisers claim is a world record, Fiji beat them 38-0 on Sunday. However Micronesia are likely to escape their place in the record books as they are not affiliated to world football's governing body Fifa, and the squads at the Pacific Games are Under-23s because it doubles as Olympic qualifying. Micronesia put an outfield player in goal at half-time with the score 21-0. Midfielder Dominic Gadad conceded 17 more Antonio Tuivana scored 10 goals for Fiji; Christopher Wasasala hit seven Fiji failed to score between 12th and 22nd minute Micronesia's final group game is against Vanuatu, who drew with Fiji Minnows only have 18-man squad, rather than 23 The official world record remains Australia's 31-0 win over American Samoa in a World Cup qualifier back in 2001. http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33400707 Need McLeish out in the Pacific to teach them Dutch style tactics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 I assume the goalkeepers in Micronesia must have a considerable height disadvantage compared to the rest of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 What they need to do is get fifa affiliated, get some blatter money, reduce the defeats down to around 10-0 every game and then vote for him every election 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
