How Great Was SO l’Emyrne 2002?
How did SO l’Emyrne end up on the wrong side of a 149–0 scoreline — and why is this one of football’s strangest (and most revealing) stories?
In this bite-sized off-season special of By Far The Greatest Team, hosts Graham Dunn and Jamie Rooney dive into the extraordinary tale of SO l’Emyrne and the infamous 149–0 match in the Madagascan league.
This isn’t a normal “they got battered” story — it’s football chaos with context: a game that became legend, sparked debate, and turned into a symbol of how protests, frustration, and systems can collide with the sport in the most extreme way possible.
So grab a cuppa, a biscuit, and settle in for a short football history rabbit hole that proves the beautiful game can sometimes be unbelievably weird.
