#4 American Samoa
Trending
In 2001, Australia sent their reserve team against a relatively unknown team American Samoa. But it was too easy for the Australians as and they went on to set a world record for the largest victory ever with a scoreline of 31-0. The defeat sent the Samoans to the bottom of FIFA’s world rankings - a place they would occupy for just over ten years.
In nearly two decades, the team had zero wins and 30 losses, most notably known for the defeat suffered at the hands of Australia. The run was so horrendous that a documentary crew followed the team, filming their exploits.
Called the weakest team in the world, the Samoans have played a total of 42 international games, winning just four, drawing one and losing 39 games, conceding 326 goals in the process, with a goal difference of minus 298 goals!
However, the team soon had their most successful qualifying attempt in their history during the 2018 World Cup qualifiers in the summer of 2015, winning two games and narrowly missing out on progressing to the next stage thanks to goal difference.
