football club based on the costa blanca except they are no longer just a spanish football club they are an international football club torrevieja as a town has a population of about 100 000 people when everyone is here but it is the sort of place where people have a holiday home meaning that for nine months of the year it is very very quiet the town itself has a healthy mix of residents we have the spanish locals of course and then a high percentage of ex pats be them british russian german french or scandanavian this in turn is shown in the football club the board is an even split of spanish and british and the small gates at the ground are made up of a mix of the local community in recent weeks following the addition of a new board member to drive more commerical pr activity cd torrevieja have had their membership base or socios as they are called in spain almost double with people signing up from the usa canada norway and the uk to get behind the club the new member of the board chris darwen explains more i joined the club at the start of march having moved out here one of the first things i did having fired them up on the computer game football manager 2015 and got them promoted was go and watch a game and i instantly felt a connection with the place i then contacted the club and offered my services to help the club commercially with a simple but ambitious aim to get them self sufficient in the next three years we have a wonderful president at the club and he like many others in lower level football across the world funds the shortfall in revenue from his own back pocket when i heard that the club used to have a following in the thousands at home games and now it is down in the lower hundreds it became an instant challenge to me cd torrevieja had been followed by a large and loyal set of fans and just under a decade ago would regularly run out at estadio vicente garcia to a crowd of over 3000 that crowd were made up predominantly of british ex pats members of the torry army an official pena made up of retiring british football fans living on the costa blanca following some internal club politics seeing a large chunk of the fans switch allegiance to another local club many growing old and moving back to the uk to see out their years and frankly some passing away the torry army has dwindled in numbers and have not been replaced darwen continues it is not living in the past to think we can get those sorts of numbers into the club again maybe not from exactly the same source as before sure but the club feels very disconnected from it s local community by that i mean it is not a british club it is not a spanish club it is the official club of torrevieja which is a truly international town therefore as a club we have to start working harder and connecting with it s local community and not just expect people to turn up that doesn t mean go out and just tell people to come and watch it is giving them something they feel they are a part of can have a say in and really be proud of i look at some of the football clubs that i really respect and they have a huge element of fan ownership i don t just mean literally owning the fixtures and fittings of the club but the local community own the club in the sense that they want to be part of it will help it and feel like they are getting something in return it is not just about money if as a club we start doing the right things then i am sure the revenues will increase but we cannot just chase the money from the word go darwen has many new initiatives that will be launched between now and the start of the 2015 16 season and has been helped by the side winning 6 1 at the weekend under the watchful eye of the new coach pedreno one of the early ones that has been successful has seen the club form an official link with a website that is made up of fans and players of the computer game football manager 2015 it has been amazing said darwen and it shows that even by not being here that people can feel part of the club the group did a fundraising event earlier in the month and raised over 400 in return for signed merchandise from the players and plenty of thanks no other club has ever had this kind of link in the football manager community and we are very proud cd torrevieja are a club that needs to embrace the international culture it lives in new people that move to torrevieja or even just come on holiday do look to see what the local club is especially if they are football fans if the club can become the hub of the community where new people can come to make friends feel part of torrevieja and help people start to call the town home then it will not be long before the community will stand up and be proud of their football club written by chris darwen

salapu lies on the ground beside his goal the rest of his team are also flung on the pitch s surface battered beaten like fallen soldiers in a battlefield salapu raises his head for just a moment before slumping to the floor again as his opponents his tormentors australia depart the international sports stadium satisfied they have won and by a fine margin too thirty one goals in fact the final score reads australia 31 0 american samoa it remains the largest victory ever to be witnessed in an international football match the game was destined to be one sided american samoa a chain of islands in the south pacific possessing a meagre population of just 54 000 were facing a country boasting 23 000 000 inhabitants a professional football league and a squad positively teeming with potential the american samoans were embarking on their first ever world cup qualification campaign and previous to their encounter with australia had lost 13 0 to fiji and then 8 0 to their ultimate rivals samoa the fear was if fiji could put thirteen goals past american samoa who knows what the score would be versus oceanian giants australia it didn t help that american samoans were found to have only one of their original 20 man squad eligible to play goalkeeper nicky salapu more problems followed as they were unable to include the under 20 internationals in their side they were involved in high school exams at the time the resulting squad comprised three 15 year olds in a team with an average age of just 18 then football federation american samoa vice president tony langkilde would later go on to admit that some members of that team had never played an entire 90 minute match it was a side riddled with weaknesses and no apparent strengths ten minutes in and australia had yet to score nicky salapu in the american samoa goal was having the game of his life making a string of excellent stops then following a corner to australia midfielder con boutsianis scored and then archie thompson netted in the 12th minute before his striker partner david zdrilic found the net just a minute later the goals kept on coming by half time it was 16 0 the second half brought more goals and by time that the whistle sounded for full time the american samoan players crumpled to the ground some exhausted most merely crushed by the wrath of their opponents the scoreboard mistakenly read 32 0 but that made no difference to the american samoans the meagre strands of optimism ahead of the remainder of the world cup qualifying campaign had been blown away in the cruellest of ways i couldn t see any reason why they australia would want to score so many goals said manager tunoa lui after the match it was an opinion shared by many including rangers manager dick advocaat who happened to manage scottish club rangers at the time when australian internationals craig moore and tony vidmar returned from the australian camp to rangers advocaat proceeded to drop them for the team s next match versus dundee later citing their behaviour as unsportsmanlike it would be a match that would prove to hamper the development of the american samoa national football team the internet was awash with news of the match highlights of which was being broadcast on international television this of course generated a lot of negative publicity for the samoans nicky salapu especially in seattle where salapu now lives most of the players there say are you from american samoa you gave up thirty one goals they make jokes of me he said in 2011 this harrowing defeat would go on to haunt salapu over the next ten years we shouldn t have taken a team he recalls that was a huge mistake the loss however did not only affect nicky salapu it also influenced the rest of the team confidence was lost following the match nobody expected to win there was no winning mentality for what was left of it vanished in the aftermath of their contest with australia however there was an inkling of hope for the future of the american samoa team as they defeated tonga in 2011 emerging victorious by a 2 1 score line in the team on that day was jaiyah saelua the first transgender footballer to compete in a men s fifa world cup qualifier a member of the third gender fa afafine people of samoa she was first drafted in to the national football team at the age of just 14 and is now one of the side s most integral players starring in her role at centre back the emergence of a new generation of samoan footballers means that foreign clubs are beginning to show interest midfielder ramin ott and justin manao are amongst the most recent to play abroad ott in new zealand with bay olympic and manao in the usa with plu lutes the goal for the ffas is now to produce a player of european league standards although this is more of a long term ambition obesity is rife in american samoa and with rugby and american football reigning supreme football is fighting a tough battle to make its mark on the tiny island nation it is extremely unlikely that a loss of such magnitude will ever occur again in international football as the minnows of global football are slowly albeit surely improving regardless of whether american samoa will ever develop to the point in which they are challenging new zealand for the title of best team in oceania football is grabbing a foothold in the island s community football on the islands of american samoa is combating fast food and rugby and is slowly beginning to gain the upper hand possessing a structured setup as well as a national side the pacific island nation may suffer from a lack of interest in the beautiful game but an ongoing grassroots programme funded by the football federation american samoa is changing this never before has there been so large a quantity of enthusiasm for football in the aftermath of their thirty one to nil defeat american samoa were mocked and ridiculed by the press following their infamous loss they fell into footballing obscurity for ten years until in 2011 they succeeded in beating tonga 2 1 an uncomfortable win admittedly but a win nevertheless and a sign of better things to come leave a comment back from the ashes the story of montserratian football march 4 2015 tomos knox blogging calcio football football blogging football journalism football writing futbol goal montserrat writing in july 1995 montserrat a small island in the caribbean was shrouded in smoke as its soufrière hills volcano erupted destroying the island s capital plymouth in the midst of its relentless onslaught following plymouth s destruction half of montserrat s population left the island for good convinced that the economy had been crushed only two years later a pyroclastic flow travelled from mosquito ghaut tragically killing 19 people the southern part of montserrat has now been deemed unsafe and is no longer inhabited the old capital plymouth once the hub of the island s life lies desolate in the shadow of the volcano instead of boasting 4 000 inhabitants like before the former capital of montserrat is empty devoid of the life once found on its streets now boasting a population of just less than 5 000 the emerald isle has been seriously damaged by this tragic occurrence with its capital demolished half of its population leaving for britain and a lack of an economy things were looking relatively grim for montserrat however football somehow pulled through and continues to maintain its position as one of montserrat s top sports somewhat surprisingly the island s national team only began playing four years before the soufrière hills disaster montserrat played their inaugural international versus st lucia in 1991 during the caribbean cup losing 3 0 to the hosts however despite this setback montserrat bounced back grabbing an impressive 1 1 draw against anguilla the island proceeded to compete in the next caribbean cup but crashed out after suffering some heavy defeats at the hands of both st kitts and nevis and antiqua and barbuda rounding off rather a cataclysmal display in 1994 three years after the establishment of the montserrat national football team the montserrat football association mfa was formed and subsequently joined concacaf montserrat played their first ever home match on the march 26th 1995 in plymouth gaining their first win by defeating anguilla 3 2 a subsequent victory over anguilla guaranteed their place in the 1995 caribbean cup however montserrat exited from the caribbean cup after losing to st vincent and grenadines by an aggregate score of 20 0 and as the soufrière hills volcano became unsafe erupting on a number of different occasions a large number of the island s footballers departed taking up the uk government s offer of residency in britain it wasn t until 1999 that montserrat played a football match again returning after a four year hiatus montserrat returned a far weaker side as a consequence the island did not even enter the 1998 world cup qualifiers unsurprisingly on their return to international football playing in the 1999 edition of the caribbean cup they lost 1 6 on aggregate to the british virgin islands leaving them last in group d which as anguilla withdrew comprised of just the two teams these two defeats resulted in montserrat departing the tournament which would eventually be won by trinidad and tobago without registering a draw let alone a win however when taking into consideration the various factors weighing against the montserra...
