American Samoa; Divide and Conquer

[taida]

OK, a few facts about the American Samoa Football Team;
--They hold the record for the biggest defeat in Football History, being defeated 31-0 by Australia.
--In all of their matches, they have only scored 12 goals and conceded a total of 207 goals.
--They have NEVER won a FIFA Sanctioned match. They only ever won one match against Wallis and Futuna in 1986, when both were NOT FIFA members [Wallis and Futuna still are not.]
--They are the joint worst national team in the world. They are in this position with San Marino, Anguilla, Montserrat and Papua New Guinea.

Lol 203rd, wow that's low. Good luck mate

 

[Lewis]

Lol this will be tough, good luck

 

[Aidzz]

Good to see people setting themselves a challenge.

Should be good to follow, good luck bud.

 

[taida]

Thanks guys. I'll get the Vanuatu game done soon. Only friendly I've got! :L

whats your target for this mate? i dont like international management that much, american samoa will never develop any good players and you obviously can't buy them so how can you improve?

 

[taida]

I want to get them first off in the top 200 in the world, then work with it from there. They won't get any good players, not for a while but as long as we can get a respectable position in the rankings then I'll be happy

have a look at boozemonsters story of managing the cook islands to glory, pretty inspirational stuff.

the players developed by your nation will improve as your ranking improves. not by much obviously but you may be bale to win a small tournament such as the oceania nations cup (the biggest team that enters is new zealnad)

YEAR ONE OVERVIEW

Well it was a tough first year for us. The fact that we were defeated by unranked teams dented our confidence massively.

Highlight of the Year - Gotta be Falaniko getting his first goal for American Samoa. He was delighted and so was I.

Downfall of the Year - Has to be getting defeated by French Guiana 5-0. Really kicked everyone in the teeth.

Goals Scored - 1
Goals Conceded - 11

RANKING - 205
Highest Position - 203
Lowest Position - 207

 

[Jake]

to be expected really mate.

did u read boozemonsters story?

hopefully with better results/performances, more of your players will get picked up by professional clubs, therefore regular training will see them improve

 

[taida]

I did read boozemonsters story, 'twas a good story and it's gave me inspiration to keep this going But I checked with FMRTE and my players max PA is in the 20's, so I can't see many pro clubs picking them up, best bet is maybe wait for some decent regens to come along.

 

[Jake]

yea boozemonser noticed a higher qulaity of regen coming through as his ranking went up

Good luck mate. Did you activate the American Samoa leagues or just add all their players when creating a game?

amrican samoa doesnt have an active league. to manage any small nation like american samoa you should load a country with an active league, i usually choose england out of habit, then load all players of american samoan nationality.

when choosing a team to manage you need to find an american samoan player or type american samoa into search. get to the national teams page and click take control. i alwyas choose my nationality as the country im going to manage, but i dont think its essential

Actually downloaded the American Samoan league, which was uploaded on here.

You can add nation leagues now using the editor. For example, I added the San Marino leagues to my game
