Archie du triumph

Talk about a one-man show. The Australian A-League Grand Final was this past weekend and Melbourne striker Archie Thompson went off like bad milk. Dude had 5 goals in the 6-0 victory over Adelaide. Sure Clint Mathis put 5 past Dallas once but a) that was the Burn so it's not really that much of an achievement and b) not in a cup final.

So what is this guy doing with his summer? I'm sure there is an MLS team or 4 that could definitely use the help up top; certainly might be worth a few phone calls and pair of Qantas tickets if his considerable talents could be acquired on a loan deal.

and this cat PREDICTED hge would have a hattrick before halftime.... confident, cocky, whatever... he's got a knack for the net that probably wont go unnoticed. I know your boys could of used him this weekend in their 4-0 spanking.

I know, that's what makes it even more insane. It's like he not only pointed for the homer, but grand-slammed it over the Green Monster.
