American Samoa

American Samoa is well known for this lol. It was a catalyst for Australia leaving Oceania for the more competitive AFC. Of interest, Thomas Rongen has taken over the team. He played a role with TFC a few years ago, I believe as an Academy director.

I've started loosely following Oceania due to this story. The standard is low, but football's influence in those islands is interesting.

If you are looking for interesting stories of football on small pacific islands, check out Up Pohnpei. I highly recommend it.
