The Tahiti Soccer Team, Made Up of Truck Drivers and School Teachers, Is Playing in the Confederations Cup (Video)
Tahiti is an island nation of just 178,000 inhabitants, and it is obviously known more for its tropical beaches and gorgeous ocean vistas than its ability to field a competitive international soccer team.

Stat Line Of The Night — 7/1/12 — Spain
We rarely award “Stat Line of the Night” honors to an entire team.

We have showed you some incredible backheel goals in the past, but none may be better than the one we were treated to via Spain’s fourth tier Tercera Division earlier this week, as Espanyol B’s Bubacar Njie Kambi, a.k.a.
