Still Not Worthy Of A Thread

Came in to post about this - there is an update:

 

Micronesia floggings put Socceroos routs in the shade

 

The Oceania Football Confederation, for years the plaything of Australia's Socceroos, is again making headlines for a series of ludicrous football scorelines.

 

This time it's not one nation doing the dominating, with teams lining up to kick their names into the record books against Federated States of Micronesia.

 

At least they would be, if Micronesia was recognised by FIFA.

 

Competing, if you can call it that, in the Under-23 OFC Pacific Games - which serves as a preliminary Olympic Games qualifying tournament - Micronesia was humiliated 46-0 by Vanuatu on Tuesday, ending its campaign on a new low with one of football's most lopsided scores.

 

That drubbing came after a 38-0 loss to Fiji and a 30-0 scoreline against Tahiti, taking Micronesia's 'goals against' tally to 114 goals in its three group games.

 

Vanuatu striker Jean Kaltack helped himself to 16 goals, rocketing to top spot on the tournament scoring ladder.

 

Organisers labelled it the biggest win in international football history, eclipsing the Socceroos' 2002 FIFA World Cup qualifying 31-0 win over American Samoa in 2001.

 

Reflecting on that match, David Zdrilic, who scored eight goals, said: "Back then it was a world Cup qualifying campaign and we had to take evry game seriously.

 

"The mentality going into every game was that you had to take it seriously because sometimes you wouldn't get the rub of the green and goals wouldn't just flow.

 

"You get into that camp environment and your keen to se3t a good platform for the whole campaign. That day the goals started flowing and we probably should have taken our foot off the throttle, but we really weren't chasing records or even aware of the scoreline. Once the goals started we just wanted to score more of them."

 

That idea of not being aware of the score certainly prevailed in the Vanuatu-Micronesia match, with one tweet capturing the moment the official scorer left his post with the score well into double-digits.

Didn't think it'd actually be possible to score that many goals :lol: the guys literally must not be able to play at all.

 

Even 11 novices would surely try and park the bus after a while?! Bet they're just attention whores doing it on purpose.

It amounts to 1 goal every 2 minutes, it's insane :lol:

 

Even the most basic timewasting would have yielded a smaller score.
