Red and White Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 It would have set a world record for a lop-sided match, but Micronesia are either not a FIFA member, or it was a U23 tournament (the article wasn't too clear which was the case). Either way, they were lucky to escape such a distinction lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toje Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 They lost 46-0 against Vanuatu. The team only trained for 2-weeks before the tournament, and some of the players were very new to football. It also didn't help that they were lacking money and proper equipment. Jean Kaltack scored 16 goals. He has 8 full caps for Vanuatu and 9 goals.

Greatest Cockney Rip Off Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Anyone who would like to explore this a little more should check out the book Up Pohnpie. Pohnpie is one if the islands that makes up Micronesia. They tried to lobby Fifa to recognise them as a member a few years ago. They were even able to win a match against Guam. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mud-sweat-cheers-meet-englishman-2798391 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
