Don't forget there were a lot of non-Polynesian people rooting for Toa Samoa too! 😉 I actually think I was more excited than my Samoan wife, (who is not a huge sports fan). We didn't get it on TV here where I live, but I was able to listen to the entire game on Sirius/XM radio, on the BBC channel by myself out in my truck! They played with heart, passion, and fire; and I could not have asked for more! It is always fun rooting for a team, but Nothing is more special than rooting for your country and culture! 🥰 The semi final game against England, where they beat the team that beat them 60-6 earlier; was one of the most exciting games I have ever (watched/heard) in my entire life!!! It reminded me of how it was in the USA when a group of college kids played for the USA, and Beat Russia (who had professional players on their team) in the Olympic Hockey match in 1980. Not a hockey fan, but the thrill of rooting for your country when they are underdogs, is the best feeling ever. I cannot wait until the next world cup; I truly feel Toa Samoa will be in the final 4 once again! WOW, can you imagine what a Samoa vs Tonga final would be like! 😯 🤩
