Micronesia Suffer Another World Record Defeat And Someone Was There To Live-Tweet It

Micronesia have cemented their place as the world's worst international football team with a whopping 46-0 loss to the footballing stronghold of Vanuatu.

Vanuatu striker Jean Kallack ran riot bagging 16 goals as the world record loss followed a defeat 38-0 to Fiji and a lost 30-0 to Tahiti during the group stage of the Pacific Games.

Micronesia are competing in their first Oceania Football Confederation (OFC) tournament and their Australian coach Stan Foster was sympathetic towards and said "they're boys not men".

The defeat is described as the biggest in International Football history, but may not go into the record books as Micronesia are not a FIFA member. The current record is Australia's 31-0 drubbing of Samoa in 2001.

Micronesia will be allowed compete in the tournament again in four years, where they could continue to make San Marino and Gibraltar look like Spain and Germany.

Thankfully for the rest of us, football journalist Kevin Darling was at the game and he was doing his best to live tweet it goal by goal.
