Makoto Nakamura Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) September 2023 Three games, three more high scoring wins and we've got some breathing room at the top of the table!

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 October 2023 That breathing space disappeared as we fall down to 2nd, I have no idea how there's such a gap between teams with Utelei being 12 points clear of PanSa East after just 10 games!

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Peyton Tapui with the first half hat-trick! We should have kicked on after the red card but we still win easily enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ben_ Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 What’s Tapui’s record like now? He could get 100 goals yet never actually achieve anything in his international career! Any other USA based players you’ve got your eyes on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could get 100 goals yet never actually achieve anything in his international career! Any other USA based players you’ve got your eyes on? It's a shame because Oceania doesn't get much in the way of competitions compared to the other confederations, we have the Pacific Games which is only for players based in the nation & the OFC Nations Cup which counts as the World Cup Qualifiers which is a minimum of three games for us. Tapui has 11 in 7 as he comes up to his 20th birthday, he's performing well for Rochester as well! Unfortunately nobody of American Samoan heritage came through the USA this season, their intake is in October so I have been checking so it's still just Tapui & Kaleopa so far.

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 2023 End of Season Review We went down to 10 men after 5 minutes against Utulei and were 2-0 down after 8 minutes, quite the bottle job means no Champions League for us last season, on the bright side we've won our first cup! Overall Best XI 2023 Best XI Nicky Salapu Ryan Tua - Paul Collins - Uasilaa Heleta - Ene Penitusi Austin Niusila Vaha Tua - Michael Settle Chris Uti Jermaine Sione - Ryan Taga'i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 (edited) A good year for us! Five wins and only a big loss to Fiji, I'm amazed that we can have a crowd as low as 500 for an international game! Overall Best XI 2023 Best XI Hengihengi Ikuvalu Milo Collins - Lemusa Kaleopa - Ueli Tualaulelei - Eni Penitusi Heki Uitalia Vaha Tua - Michael Settle Jordan Maufroy Peyton Tapui - Gabriel Kaleopa Edited November 26, 2022 by Makoto Nakamura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to the last part I think its because American Samoa is playable, teams within the league are creating the players needed for the national side whereas if they weren't playable they would come through elsewhere. Its a shame really because it doesn't reflect the real world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it turns out there's now a different set of groups for FIFA World Cup Qualification, I thought it was through the OFC Nations Cup? So basically the top 6 nations from the OFC Nations Cup qualify for FIFA World Cup Qualification, not confusing at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
