What's so sad about this article is that i'm seeing not even any defenders on the current era that could accomplished on par achievement as these oldies from the past.

I'm gonna tell you now the best win in football history in my point of view is not the one from the best clubs in the world or else, but it comes from how it felt like for an entire country, American Samoa, have you heard of it? nope, i guess not, except you are a very dedicated football fans, you wouldn't know about it. You see, this national team was known as the lowest leveled football team, for the last 2 decades they have gone through 30 consecutive lost in international level, they even lost 0-31 to Australia which makes Australia to set a world record for the largest victory in an international football match. But recently they just broke the losing streak record as they claimed their first victory against Tonga, 2-1. What a sweet sweet victory, right?
Check out the highlights below:
Let's look back at the nightmare past:
Australia - American Samoa (31-0) - April 11, 2001
Australia fielded a team filled with several rarely-used players as many regulars were either rested or omitted from the team. Strikers John Aloisi and Damian Mori who combined for 10 goals in the 22–0 win over Tonga were also omitted for this match. The American Samoa team were troubled by passport issues, with only one member of their original 20-man senior team, goalkeeper Nicky Salapu, eligible to play. American Samoa were also unable to call their under-20 players because most of them were involved in high school exams at the time. Therefore, they were forced to draft in their youth players, including three 15-year-old players, to put together a makeshift team with an average age of 18.
According to team manager and Football Federation American Samoa vice-president Tony Langkilde, most of the Samoan players never played a full 90-minute game before the match with Australia. American Samoa held Australia scoreless for the first ten minutes of play until Con Boutsianis scored Australia's first goal from a corner kick. Archie Thompson scored his first goal in the 12th minute, while his strike partner, David Zdrilic, added his first goal a minute later. Tony Popovic added two successive goals in the 17th and 19th minute to extend Australia's lead into 6–0. In the 25th minute, Zdrilic achieved a hat-trick, making the score 9-0 for Australia. Thompson then scored 6 of the next 7 goals as Australia led 16–0 at the half. Thompson led Australia in scoring with 8 goals at halftime, with Zdrilic trailing with 4 goals. Boutsianis, who scored the first goal of the first half, scored the first goal of the second half in the 50th minute. Boutsianis later added another goal to complete his hat-trick. Thompson and Zdrilic added 5 and 4 goals to finish with 13 and 8 goals respectively. Boutsianis finished with 3 goals, while Popovic, Aurelio Vidmar and Simon Colosimo scored 2 goals each, and substitute Fausto De Amicis scored one goal. In the 86th minute, despite being down by 29 goals, American Samoa managed to launch an attack towards Australia's goal when Pati Feagiai had a shot, which was saved by Michael Petkovic. That shot was American Samoa's first and only shot on Australia's goal.
The large number of goals created a confusion over the correct scoreline. At the end of the match, the scoreboard at the stadium showed a 32–0 and Thompson was credited with 14 goals. Only after the statistician did a recount, the 31–0 scoreline was announced, and Thompson's total goals count was reduced to 13. After the match, went on to release the official statistics after receiving the official report from the referee and match officials, which confirm the 31–0 scoreline and Thompson's 13 goals.
So, they could be the team that once remembered as the lowest national football team about 2 decades ago, but with their first win since then against Tonga 2-1, now they could recreate a new history for the next years to come, that's why the win against tonga probably is the best win in football history ^_^

You see everytime when you were watching one football team that you really hate, you'll always hope that they lose, especially when against lower leveled teams. But in so many of that occasion you're the one who lost, the ones you hate seems to have always stick to the reality, they always wins against small teams. But that is not the case here, because here in this article, you'll see too much of the better sides losing, as a fan you maybe could not stand it, but it's the truth, so accept it no matter you like it or not, prepare:
Below is the list of the top 12 shocks in football history
Manchester United vs. Manchester City (1-6)
English Premiere League - October 23, 2011
Let's start with the most recent shocking football match result that breaks the 81 years history of Manchester United, that is losing at old trafford with the highest margin, Man. Utd was simply humiliated by his rookie rivals from the same city, Manchester City, the match was really a pleasure for all MU haters out there, a minus 5 for them, that have never happen since September 10 1930, where MU loses 0 - 6 toHuddersfield Town. What a happy and wonderful memories ^_^, for haters i mean.
Inter Milan vs. Napoli (0-3)
Italian Serie A - October 2, 2011
Although Inter is having a bad game, it's very clear that the referee really helped Napoli in winning the clash that night. It was Inter midfielder Joel Obi who picked up his second yellow card for a foul on Christian Maggio in the 41st minute, having the 1st one that really are not a foul at all, that resulted in a Napoli penalty, although replays showed that he pushed Maggio outside the area. Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar blocked Marek Hamsik’s ensuing penalty but Napoli defender Hugo Campagnaro—who clearly was inside the area before Hamsik’s kick—scored from the rebound. The half ended amid fierce protests and new Inter manager Claudio Ranieri was ejected during the break. Despite being a man down, Inter threatened for an equalizer early in the second half before Maggio doubled Napoli’s lead in the 56th when he beat Japan fullback Yuto Nagatomo to lift the ball over Julio Cesar.
Shrewsbury vs. Everton (2-1)
FA Cup 3rd Round - January 4, 2003
Shrewsbury, struggling in the old 3rd Division (League 2), knocked out Premiership side Everton. The Toffees had a certain 17 year old striker by the name of Wayne Rooney in their starting line up but he was upstaged by home skipper, Nigel Jemson, whose two goals sent the Shrews through. His first was a fine free kick on 37 minutes and, although sub Niclas Alexandersson equalized for Everton in the second half, the experienced Jemson won it in dramatic fashion with a header two minutes from the end!
Germany Vs.Croatia (0-3)
World Cup 1998, Quarter Final - June 26, 1998
The Germans went into the World Cup in France as one of the favourites after their Euro 96 victory, but their hopes were shattered in the quarter finals as Croatia gained revenge for their defeat to Germany at the same stage in England two years previously. With the game at 0-0, German defender Christian Worns was given a red card and Croatia went on to hit three without reply: Robert Jarni, Goran Vlaovic and Davor Suker netting the goals. Croatia briefly troubled hosts France in the semi-finals before losing, but earned 3rd place at the tournament with a win over Holland, Suker scoring the winner to seal the Golden Boot.
Watch full match below:
Wolves vs. Man United (1-0)
English Premier League - January 17, 2004
We gotta had to find a place for Wolves somewhere and this must rank as one of the biggest of recent years in the Premier League! MU performed valiantly in a 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford, Wolves duly pulled off the shock of the season a few months later as Man United were beaten in the top versus bottom showdown at a packed Molineux. Striker Kenny Miller capitalised on a slip by Wes Brown and converted past Tim Howard to give Wolves a dramatic win over the champions. As it turned out, the result had implications at the top of the league, as United slipped off the summit to allow Arsenal a way in, en route to their glorious unbeaten season. Sadly, for Wolves, it was a brief highlight and they were eventually relegated in last place.
Man United vs. Leeds United (0-1)
F.A. Cup 3rd Round - January 3, 2010
Manchester United had never before been knocked out of the F.A Cup 3rd Round under Sir Alex Ferguson, and it had been 26 years since a lower league club had got the better of them. But both records were broken in the opening days of 2010 as they were shocked by rivals Leeds at Old Trafford. Striker Jermaine Beckford was the match winner for the League One club on 19 minutes, controlling a superb ball over the top from Johnny Howson and holding off Wes Brown before sliding the ball tantalisingly beyond keeper Tomasz Kuszczak.
France vs. Greece (0-1)
Euro 2004 Quarter-final - June 25, 2004
The reigning champions France had been far from convincing in the group stage, despite coming through as winners. They met the highly efficient and organised Greeks in the quarter final, who had stunned the hosts Portugal in the tournament’s opener. France were again poor, and a second half header from Angelos Charisteas gave Greece a famous win. The game marked the end of a golden period for the French, as the likes of Desailly, Lizarazu and Pires closed out their international careers. Hero Charisteas called this win the greatest moment in Greek football - but that was still to come!
Spain vs. Switzerland (0-1)
World Cup 2010 Group H - June 16, 2010
The European Champions had 45 wins from their previous 48 games, so an opening win against Ottmar Hitzfeld’s Switzerland seemed a formality. But, despite completely dominating as usual, Spain for once couldn’t find the back of the net and were punished when Gelson Fernandes broke away to give the Swiss a shock win. It was nothing but a small blip for the Spanish, however, who recovered to win every game, including the World Cup final against Holland.
U.S.A vs. England (1-0)
World Cup 1950, Group 2 - June 29, 1950
U.S.A pulled off one of the biggest shocks in World Cup history as they beat England in Brazil in 1950. The English were rated as one of the best international teams in the world at that time, whereas the American side was filled with semi-professional players. A 38th minute goal from Joe Gaetjens was enough to see off England and give U.S.A, without doubt, the greatest win in their history. The result spawned a great quote from the American defender Harry Keough: ‘Boy, I feel sorry for these b******s (England). How are they ever going to live down the fact we beat them?’ A 2005 film, called The Game of Our Lives, depicts the background and story of the game.
Denmark vs. Germany (2-0)
Euro 1992 Final - June 26, 1992
Denmark had not even qualified for the European Championships in Sweden, but Yugoslavia were disqualified due to the ongoing wars in their country, and as qualifying group runners up, the Danes took their place. Despite a loss to the hosts during the group stage, they defeated holders Holland on penalties in the semi final, then beat Germany, the overwhelming favourites and World Cup winners, in the final in Gothenburg. Goals from John Jensen and Kim Vilfort at the Ullevi Stadium capped a remarkable story for Denmark.
France vs. Senegal (0-1)
World Cup 2002 Group A - May 31, 2002
France were the defending World Cup and European Championship champions, and were expected to kick off the 2002 World Cup with a commanding win. Senegal, making their first appearance at the finals, didn’t read the script and stunned Les Bleus with a marvellous victory in Seoul. Papa Bouba Diop netted in the 30th minute to give the Africans a dream start and, despite late pressure, held on for a deserved win. It got no better for France, who exited the tournament at the group stage without scoring a single goal. Senegal built on their win to make the quarter finals.
Portugal vs. Greece (0-1)
Euro 2004 Final - July 4, 2004
Greece had already beaten Portugal in the tournament’s opener, and had gone on to beat France and the Czech Republic in the quarter finals and semi finals respectively. The hosts, however, were still big favourites to claim the Euro 2004 trophy in their home country, despite not hitting top form throughout the summer. In the event, the Greek fairytale continued as another fine defensive display led them on the way to an unbelievable success. A second half header from Angelos Charisteas was enough to see them defy all the odds to pull off the greatest shock in football history! Any side that manages to beat Portugal (twice), France and the Czech Republic surely deserves to win the trophy!
That closes the curtain for the top 12 of most shocking football results, hope you love it ^_^
I posted something about Footytube a little over a week ago and it made me think that I can't be a true fan of soccer if I don't have an English Premier League team. I was a free-agent, but after a phone call with our friend, Joe Pasquali, we made up our mind. We are officially announcing our fanhood for the football club, Tottenham Hotspur. You guys have to help me out a little, 'cause I'm new at this soccer fanatic thing. Read why I chose this club and why ESPN may have made me choose sides.
I was a soccer fan before today, but I was a casual fan. I am going all-in with this soccer thing. I have been a fan of international soccer, but I realized the reason I was a fan, I had a team to root for. I root for the United States soccer team and that makes me follow the sport. I know a little about the European Premiership, but I felt like I needed to pick a team to really get myself into this whole thing. I grew up a fan of the Chicago Cubs, Indianapolis Colts, and Indiana Pacers. Mostly because my dad liked those teams and I watched sports with him. I follow baseball, football, and basketball because I was vested in those teams.
I had a similar situation a couple years ago when I moved to Columbus, Ohio. I didn't have one single NHL team to root for and since I was in town and I liked hockey, I became a Columbus Blue Jackets fan. I have became so knowledgeable about the team that I now a correspondent for the team over at Fanball.
I know what you're thinking, I can't pick an EPL team that is close to me, so I might as well just throw a dart and pick one. If a dartboard was nearby, I would have chosen that route, but Joe talked me out of it. He said that I should choose a team that would stay in EPL for awhile and wouldn't be relegated down. I know that I didn't want to be a bandwagon fan and pick Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, or Chelsea. Joe is a fan of Aston Villa and I couldn't pick his team, because I kind of need to be against his team, it's just good for my psyche. I almost picked Hull City, because of Jozy Altidore, but I didn't want to get emotionally attached to that team, because they may not stay in the league long. I narrowed it down to West Ham, Portsmouth, or Tottenham Hotspur, three middle-of-the-pack kind of teams that fits my style. I looked at the rosters and being a Tottenham fan just felt right.
From what I understand, being a fan of the Lillywhites, I was grandfathered into a rivalry that I know little about, but I'm used to it. Apparently I am going to grow to hate Arsenal, which I'm okay with. Most of the teams that I dislike have red in their uniforms or logos like Arsenal. Also, I found out that Tottenham Hotspur was named after a character in the Shakespeare play "Henry IV." I am fine with it and I actually like a little Billy Shakespeare, so everything lines up perfectly.
I am excited to be rooting for Robbie Keane, Ledley King, and Peter Crouch. I am not very familiar with them right now and I can't wait for the time when these people become real and not just names on a piece of paper.
I will be tail-gating for the Ohio State/USC game this Saturday, but I want to be able to catch the Tottenham game at Manchester United. I need to sneak away and find a television where this game would be televised in the U.S. I may need to try and find the game online and watch it at a later date. The lack of televised games will not stop me from my goal of being a EPL soccer fan.
This is where ESPN comes into play. They have started to show EPL games on Saturday, which will help me scout other teams in the Premier League and catch a few Spurs games. I can't wait for this, it's going to be a lot of fun and I hope more Americans take the steps that I am going to take. I'm tired of being a fan for about 2-3 months every other year when the Olympics or the World Cup gets near. I am all-in and all I have left to say is, Go Spurs and kick Man U.'s ass!
