American Samoa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The American Samoa national soccer team holds an unwanted world record in international soccer—the record defeat in an international match, a 31-0 crushing by Australia on April 11, 2001. About 30 ethnic Samoans, many from American Samoa, currently play in the National Football League. American Samoa (Samoan: Amerika Samoa) is an unorganized, unincorporated territory of the United States in the South Pacific Ocean, to the southeast of the sovereign state of Samoa. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/American_Samoa   (747 words)

» Samoa - OFC :: Sports Personalities, Teams and News Events :: Information from the World of Sport American Samoa The American Samoa national soccer team is the national team of American Samoa and is controlled by American Samoa Football Association. It is one of the weakest teams in the world, due to both its small population base and the overwhelming popularity of American football in American Samoa. History The national team played at the World Cup finals in West Germany in 1974, which to date has been their only appearance in this event. sports.news-axis.com /2257/samoa   (372 words)

Failure Magazine-Archives-Sports-American Samoa's Dream Team At the time of that statement, American Samoa was rated dead last by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), 203rd of 203 teams. In its short football history, American Samoa’s team has never experienced even modest success. American Samoa, an unincorporated territory of the United States with a population of 63,000, was sanctioned for international competition in 1998, and its recent results, to put it mildly, have been disappointing. www.failuremag.com /arch_sports_american_samoa.html   (431 words)

Michael Jennings In my favourite sport of cricket, there is a 'national team' called the West Indies, which is a combined team of players from the former British colonies of the Carribean (plus Guyana in South America). International matches in soccer were played in 1872, international cricket was first played in 1877, international matches in rugby in 1871, the olympic games in 1896. Colonies having separate teams from their imperial masters became accepted and normal, and although these colonies later mostly became independent countries in their own right, this tradition survived. michaeljennings.blogspot.com /2002_06_09_michaeljennings_archive.html   (1241 words)

ESPN.com Soccernet WorldCup: News - Fiji open qualifying with 13 goals Tongan coach Gary Phillips, a veteran of 379 games and two premierships in the Australian National Soccer League, said the group one team had only been together for a week. American Samoa had arrived this week without boots and were further hampered by an administrative oversight wich meant most of their best players were ineligible to compete because they did not have American passports.

Story Apparently, both Konika teams, the men's and women's, are led by American Samoa Football and Soccer Association (ASFSA) president Richard Ott, whom Herrera claims was removed from the post after a meeting before the extraordinary congress followed by the AGM last month. Herrera said that despite her persistence, the members of the PanSa men's team were not at all intimidated by the presence of national players, with all of the players riding on their confidence to put up a challenge. The PanSa girls team led by team manager Se'epa Han and team captain Ora Brown of ANZ Amerika Samoa Bank, defeated the Konika Black Roses (1-0) during an intensive action packed game that was witnessed by crowds of spectators at the Pago Pago Park two Saturdays ago. www.samoanews.com /tuesday/TUsports/story6.html   (924 words)

Letters: Response to column of Australia's qualifying routs. But the recent actions by their soccer federation and government in denying visas to American Samoa players, the actions of the coach in recalling un-needed players, and the actions of the coach and players in scoring so many goals against weak opponents is truly shameful. The American Samoa team that played in the qualifier was clearly not fit or skilled enough to play Australia or advance in qualifying. American Samoa does not have to participate in an event where it knows it is at a severe disadvantage. www.soccertimes.com /letters/2001/apr27.htm   (1483 words)

Australia is shamed by its national coach and players. The rest of the confederation is comprised of Fiji (133), Solomon Islands (137), Tahiti (138), Vanuatu (171), Cook Islands (173), Samoa (174), not to be confused with American Samoa, Tonga (178) Papua New Guinea (194) and American Samoa (203). American Samoa, listed as the 203rd-ranked and worst team on the globe by world governing body FIFA, was weakened in this competition, courtesy of the host Australian government which refused to admit seven American Samoa players into the country, saying they did not have proper visas because they did not carry American passports. By establishing world records for most goals by a team and a player in a single match, Thompson and his teammates have etched their names, properly permanently, in the record books for one of the most classless acts in history. www.soccertimes.com /wagman/2001/apr12.htm   (1181 words)

There are others scattered around the globe and the great American hope is that the national side can eventually tap into the vast resource of athletes who fail to make it in the NFL but can make it in rugby. One of the ironies of world rugby is that the Americans are the Olympic champions, winning the gold medal in 1924 when the once strictly amateur sport made its final appearance at the Olympics. sportsillustrated.cnn.com /2003/more/09/25/bc.sport.rugby   (621 words)

Faleomavaega Responds to Allegations by Amata Amata Radewagen does not live in American Samoa, it may be difficult for her to appreciate or understand that like all Samoans the people of American Samoa were also very supportive of the Manu Samoa rugby team. For the record, I went to Wales in 1991 to give moral support to the Manu Samoa rugby team because this was the first time in the history of rugby that Samoa’s national team became one of the top sixteen teams in the world to compete for the world cup,” Faleomavaega said. Amata Radewagen to suggest that American Samoa’s canned tuna industry was saved in the 11th hour by Senator Inouye once again demonstrates her ignorance of the facts on this most critical issue facing our territory. www.house.gov /apps/list/press/as00_faleomavaega/enionamataallegations.html   (2068 words)

Boston.com / News / Boston Globe / Magazine / The Goodwill Games He was part of a team of American basketball players on a goodwill tour of western Europe at a time during which there was little goodwill to be found anywhere. One American swimmer made a habit of spitting in her opponent's lane prior to the race, and an Australian crowd enthusiastically backed a Cuban baseball team in a game against the United States.
