Is this the worst football (soccer) team ever?

For a rugby team, a 43-0 defeat would be hard to take: but for a football side it is an absolute hammering.

That, however, is the latest loss suffered by Caerphilly Castle Ladies in the Women's Welsh Premier League.

Sadly, it is not the first time they have been mauled this season, as they have also been on the wrong end of 36-0, 28-0 and 26-0 scorelines.

But the team who have let in 219 goals and scored just one in 10 games say they have no intention of giving up.

I must applaud them though, it takes a lot of character to still play after these displays, but they keep doing it. :thumbsup:

what??? one goal every 2 minutes??? If the whole teams just stand in goal, they would do better than that.

A winner never quits and a quitter never wins. But those who never win and still don't quit are just freaking stupid.

Rugby has a point system similar to American football. In soccer it is like hockey.

Without a pic it's impossible to tell if this is the worst football team ever.

In rugby you get 5 points for a try, 7 if it's converted. 3 points for a penalty and 3 for a drop goal so you can rack up the score quite quickly.

43 points is reached fairly often. 43 to nil is still a horrible loss though.

In football (soccer) a goal scores 1 point. Scoring 43 goals in one match is unheard of. I'd love to see a bit of that match. I just can't see how it's possible without both teams working together.

In football, you put the ball into the net and it count as one goal. In the case of the team in question, they allowed their opponent to put the ball into their net 43 times in ~90 minutes.
