In 2001 American Samoa lost 31-0 to Australia - the heaviest defeat in international football history...

I am genuinely happy for the guys, they never gave up!

Where is American Samoa?

It's next to regular Samoa.

I'm guessing they mostly play either Rugby or American football, and the soccer team is crap because hardly anyone joins.

Samoa won on the same day too! Good times for the Samoans.

Congrats to them!

31-0, that's a goal less than every 3 minutes!

Just watched the highlights; low on quality but I can't help but feel happy for them.

American Samoan's must really be happy..
After 17 years they just got there first win in an international match..
And they're hoping that they'll do more after this game..
It will surely be part of the history..
