Paul Watson is 25, an amateur soccer player from London, a freelance journalist and now the youngest national soccer coach in the world. It’s an impressive achievement until one realizes he is coaching perhaps the worst national team in the world: Pohnpei, a tiny Pacific island that has never won a match. Watson and friend Matthew Conrad believe they can turn the program around, despite a recent 16-1 thrashing by Guam. “By chance we heard the country didn’t have a coach,” Watson said. “Like idiots we said we would consider it. . . . Unfortunately, they are the worst team in the world.” Los Angeles Times
