Next: Athletes Who Have Let Themselves Go
Soccer: Australia 31 - American Samoa 0 (2001)
Do you believe in miracles? What about pure, unadulterated ass-kickery? In a World Cup qualifier so lopsided that it earned its own Wikipedia page, the Aussies put up the largest winning margin in the history of international play, with Archie Thompson breaking a record by scoring 13 goals. There was some fine print, however, as passport issues limited American Samoa to just one regular, forcing a bunch of amateurs (some as young as 15) into action. The bloodbath was so bloodbathy that FIFA would add a whole new preliminary round to the Cup in 2006.

1968 (?) Univ. Of Houston vs. Univ. of Idaho in football:106 to 6. Yes that is correct:106 to 6. I felt really sad for Idaho. They held on for the first half, but had no backup for second half. Houston coach was playing all Freshman trying to slow down the scoring. Most don't believe me about the score, but I was there.
