Today I was browsing through reddit, and I stumbled upon an amazing AMA (
?). FYI I got lazy so I c/p a lot,
Here it goes, Matt Conrad, and his friend Paul after a few beers had the crazy idea to ditch the drudgery of life and pursue their dream of playing international soccer.
They faced one problem: Who would take them? Neither of them were what you would call "talented."
A few more beers and some Googling later they found the island of Pohnpei, a tiny speck in the Pacific Ocean. Pohnpei had never won a game and were called "the worst team in the world." Perfect! - they thought. Let's grab a camera, pop over to the other side of the world, wow the locals with some kick-ups, play a game, win and become local legends forever!
Not exactly.
After a 48 hour flight they touched down on an island unlike anything they had ever seen. It was beautiful, very weird and everyone was staring at them. They bee-lined to team practice anxious to meet their new team-mates. But lo and behold - there was no team at all!
I invite you to read the rest of their story and support their cause on
Kickstarter! As well if you are looking for answers to some of the questions you might have go to
Reddit!
