THE RANT BLOG
Has anyone seen the Youtube video on American Samoa vs Australia with the score 0 -31? I'm only posting to kinda put out a word on it. I have to say that whomever uploaded the video, uploaded it with several language titles, and on several social media accounts as if it was the pinnacle moment in Polynesian Sports History. We all know there are some super crazy Soccer fans out there who take the sport so serious that they've even formed soccer team support Hoodlum gangs for fighting in the stands. There's even a movie on Uk British Soccer gangs called "Green Street Hooligans" 2005. It would seem that "Online Hooliganism" is a thing, even though everyone knows BRAZIL rules Professional Soccer. Hooliganism in Europe got so bad that there have been big stand-offs with police from many groups in the nations of France, Germany, Russia, and Britain... over Soccer.
Who Are these Online Soccer Hooligans?
I think the strangest thing is that Soccer is looked down on by the USA as being more of a Woman's Sport, I do enjoy a Soccer game myself but that's generally the consensus in the USA..Then you see these crazy people trying to hurt others over something we aren't interested in. First off, Soccer was invented in "The Americas", by Meso-Native Americans, which is why they're so good at it in Mexico and Brazil. The Sport was carried back to Europe by Jesuit Catholics and played first in Catholic school ground recess areas. So not only are these people hurting others over a Sport they didn't invent, but they're hurting people over a Sport they're not even great at, which is so much worse. Imperialism was invented in Asia, but they still fight over that too..weird.
Only Samoan Americans really check on videos on American Samoa so maybe its people who got beat recently by Samoa? Samoans tend to create Sports enemies through RUGBY, where people get smashed quite a bit physically and on the score board. The ALL BLACKS Team by themselves create a lot of heat in the Pacific, beating North Hemisphere teams for over 20 years straight. Samoan Americans don't play soccer for International acclaim but do play Football, not Football-Soccer, just an fyi for anyone who doesn't know about Eastern Samoa. The USA has named American Samoa "Football Island" for again, American style Football, not Soccer. [60 minutes, American Samoa Football Island]. Maybe that's where the confusion was made, maybe someone thought "Football Island" meant Soccer.
Rugby and American-style Football are both extremely more physical but never has there been the type of violence that's related to Soccer. Not even Boxing or MMA has fan-gangs who sit on the sideline to taunt and then after the event, starts a fight.
Australian Soccer: The Legendary Tim Cahill
Also what's funny is the GREATEST professional Australian Soccer player to have played the game for Australia's National team is still "TIM CAHILL" who just recently retired in 2018. Who by the way is Australian-SAMOAN with a very proud full sleeve left arm Pacific Islander tattoo. How the hell can you make fun of Eastern Samoa in Soccer, when your best Soccer player is Australian-Samoan?
American Samoa beat Australia 97-3: Saturday 25th, 2012
I'm gonna end this post on a happy note and report that American Samoa beat Australia in American style Football 97-3 on Saturday 25th February 2012, at Oceania Bowl Championship in Brisbane. They lost relative count at the end. Australia's largest loss in American style Football is now to American Samoa. The Australian Media was so embarrassed that they killed the story, but the record remained in the USA. So...that happened. There's a Tahitian version of soccer that looks so much more interesting, called Tahitian Beach Soccer. Now I can see Samoans, Maori, and Tongans playing that..looks fun.
