When some random on Wikipedia called Pohnpei ‘the worst team in the world,’ two English students — with zero coaching experience — said, ‘Right then. Let’s fix that.’” What followed was a footballing odyssey in the Pacific, as two clueless coaches and a ragtag team of islanders chased an impossible dream: their first win. What began as a lark turned into a shared journey of discovery.
Two island cultures—British and Micronesian—had raised their men the same way: don’t cry, don’t talk, don’t feel. Football became the way through. A reminder that before it became a global media circus, the beautiful game was always meant to be a place to belong.
