Career

The career of Nicky Salapu is not well documented. It is known that he played for PanSa East for eight years, beginning in 2000 and terminating in 2008. He also played in Austria for SC Mauerbach, a side in the Niederösterreichischer Fußballverband (Lower Austrian Football League). He signed for them on a free transfer from PanSa East in 2008.[3]

Australia vs. American Samoa

He conceded 31 goals to Australia in a World Cup qualifying match on April 11, 2001 and this score Australia 31–0 American Samoa still counts as the official world record. These 31 goals came from 7 different players; Con Boutsianis (3 goals) (minutes 10, 50, 84), Archie Thompson (13 goals) (minutes 12, 23, 27, 29, 32, 37, 42, 45, 56, 60, 65, 85, 88), David Zdrilić (8 goals) (minutes 13, 21, 25, 33, 58, 66, 78, 89), Aurelio Vidmar (2 goals) (minutes 14, 80), Tony Popovic (2 goals) (minutes 17, 19), Simon Colosimo (2 goals) (minutes 51, 81) and Fausto De Amicis (1 goal) (minute 55).

South Pacific Games

In 2007, he missed his flight from Hawaii to the South Pacific Games in Samoa. Because he could not make it on time he was replaced by the 17-year-old Jordan Penitusi. He was not eligible to play until he arrived for the last match of American Samoa in the South Pacific Games with Tonga, but there he was an unused substitute.

Record at FIFA tournaments

He played in the OFC FIFA World Cup Qualifications for World Cup 2002 and World Cup 2006. American Samoa lost all of these eight matches. In these eight matches, American Samoa had scored only one goal while he and therefore American Samoa had conceded 91 goals. Tony Langkilde, who was the manager of American Samoa at that time, said: "Football is a game of three possibilities: win, tie and loss. For us it is a game of only one possibility: loss. We have not had the other two possibilities yet."
