Apia, SAMOA — They are celebrating on the streets of Apia.

When the Manu Samoa defeated Russia in their opening World Cup game, Manu Samoa fans in Samoa stayed up late at night and early into the next morning to showcase their support for their team.

While most people watched from the comfort of their homes, more than 20 members of a car club known as Leai Sou Feau took their support to the front of the Government building.

They mounted a flat screen television on the back of a car where they cheered for their team.

A member of the car club, Kovati Kovati said that the purpose of their gathering was all for the spirit of supporting their nation’s team.

“There are more than 20 cars parked belonging to our members, we brought some food and soft drinks just to enjoy the game together and have a good time,” he said.

“We decided this was the perfect spot and we really hope our boys will win their first game through God’s guidance.”

Not far from town, members of the Manutagi taxi stand stopped their normal night shifts just to watch the game.

There were so many Manu Samoa supporters who took to Facebook to showcase their support by sending photos of themselves wearing blue and holding Samoa’s flag on the official Manu Samoa page.

Supporters included people from New Zealand, American Samoa, Fiji, Australia, Solomon Islands, and America from Gladiators in Salt Lake City, Utah.
