That's how they do it Down Under Melbourne Victory striker Archie Thompson produced a very special
celebration after scoring against Wellington Phoenix. WAGs are a little harder to come by in the
A-League, so Thompson had to settle for a corner flag, which in fairness does bear a passing
resemblance to Posh Spice.
Before the 2006 World Cup, it was Archie Thompson. In between, there were Bruce Djite's delusions
of grandeur. Now, a recalcitrant Joel Griffiths has become the latest to attempt to hold his
A-League club to ransom over a career move of doubtful value.
Griffiths' indiscipline in China has cost him precious game time, but even had he starred at
Beijing Guoan, would a 30-year-old striker with a record of blowing his top in pressure situations
really come into consideration for Pim Verbeek's final 23?
It's hard to say whether last night's draw with Kuwait consitutes a point gained or two lost.
Normally, one would say that squandering a two-goal lead indicates the latter. But given how poorly
the Socceroos played in the second half, the former comes into consideration too.
An instructive comparison can be made with another second-string Socceroo performance, against
Bahrain in 2006 (our first game as a member of the Asian confederation, in fact).
