Fiji Sets Win Record

When you think you have heard or been involved in a game where the score seemed to be outlandish – think again.

Here’s a new one in the world of Soccer that not even the FIFA Women’s World Cup Sepp Blatter could take away, but given the chance he might just try.

Organizers for the Pacific Games say that Fiji broke the record for the biggest win (ever) in international football with a 38-0 victory over the Federated States of Micronesia.

Fiji led 21-0 lead at half-time. Antonio Tuivuna scored 10 goals for Fiji, who like other teams in the event is being represented by an under-23 side.

Organisers said the result broke the 2001 record when Australia beat American Samoa 31-0 in an Oceania confederation qualifier for the 2002 World Cup, although it was not clear if the record would be recognised by FIFA because it is an under-age tournament.FIJI FLAG

Micronesia lost their first match 30-0 to Tahiti.

The 15th Pacific Games which end July 18 had its first full day of competition Sunday.

There are 24 mostly Pacific Island countries competing.
