After the sensational defeat suffered in 2001, when the Samoan national football team lost 31-0 against the Australian team, recording the worst defeat ever in international football, the team relied on an American coach: Thomas Rongen. He will be able to raise the morale of the team, give the players self-confidence, and make them participate in the qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup. The Samoan national team was also the first to bring on the pitch a transgender player, Jaiyah Saelua with the identity of genre historically recognized in Samoa and called fa’afafine. From this true story, which gave rise to a successful 2014 documentary of the same name, Taika Waititi draws his new film, with Michael Fassbender in the role of the coach.
