Archie Thompson

[Denmark AFL]

I was glad to hear that Archie Thompson from Melbourne was selected in the Australian team.

I hear that he is a forward and scores lots of goals

What do you guys think of him?

if i cared at all about soccer or melbourne victory, then the care factor may get above 0.

unfortunately, i dont.

Me thinks this is for the Hell board...Or possibly a piss take. But I'll go along with it.

As an avid world game fan, it's fair to say Archie has got the runs at the board at club level and even at international level he has proven himself as an effective player. Thing is though, be it through lack of opportunity or not, he hasn't really succeeded with the Socceroos against teams with more credibility as opposed to minnows. Being behind Viduka in the pecking order didn't help him for years but now that he's out of the picture hopefully Arch can really show something special

I too am a fan of the world game, in a literal sense. The A-League is of little interest to me, however Archie has some good attributes, such as reasonable technique, good pace and solid shooting ability. These are just my general observations from the few times I've seen him though, and are certainly not comprehensive.

To conclude, Arsenal will win the Champions League and Samir Nasri is going to be a star

He certainly likes making light work of the Solomon Islands.

Wrong sport champ, our games is the real football in this country. As for the record Archie is an Agrade flog, cashes in against sides who do not even know what a soccer ball looks like.

Yeah but thanks to them, I have finally seen Melbourne win a football premiership of some sort.

I don't see the need to move this thread. It can die here.

For what it's worth, the great majority of soccer fans seem to think Thompson was a poor selection for the squad.
