What are Archie's thoughts on the Socceroos' performance?
Breakfast with Gary and Tim. Oh wow, Mbappe, what a response. Incredible, killing Mbappe, has just launched from downtown, not long after the kick-off. The dream team of Jordan Kanellis and Archie Thompson doing magnificent stuff for SEN here. This man once kicked 13 goals in an international. That's up there with some of your best performances. We've spent a 31-nil victory over American Samoa. And he's also probably even more impressive than that. He kicked five in the A-League final for Melbourne victory against Adelaide. And he's in the studio having just called France beating, who'd they beat, Darge?
How did Kylian Mbappe impact the recent World Cup match?
Senegal. Welcome. Thanks, lads. Great to see you, mate. Yeah, thank you. Yep.
You're living the dream. Oh, yes, I am. Yeah, no, not all of us can call from home, unfortunately. Tell me about it.
I have to come in. I come in.
I'm only jumping on the bandwagon here. Only because I'm a Deez man, so there you go.
Now we're talking. I'll Deez week, thank you. Yes. He's loving the demons right now, don't worry about that. Don't worry, yes, 100%. I've nominated the Socceroos as obviously my favourite, but I think France are the sleeper. How did they play today? They played really well. Sleeper, Tim.
Yeah, they were asleep that first half, to be honest. They looked a bit dozy to my untrained eye. They did, but they've got some firepower up front. Kylian Mbappe, we just heard the highlights. What a goal, that second one.
cracker and even his first one was good but that um that french side's just got superstars all over the park uh just x factors they're just they're the australian game against yes the guy he ran before turquoise i know i was having this conversation when did they change no no he said turkey yeah like yeah yeah the hair turkey yeah okay yeah okay anyway anyway Tell me how excited you were because us, we're just jumping on like a lot of people and we were out of the chair going nuts.
Yeah, well, look, I don't know what it is about World Cups or soccer is, but it must be even when any kind of Australian team, any code plays in a big tournament, everyone jumps on and is a fan. But particularly with the Matildas and the soccer. I think the World Cup is different. Yeah. Yeah, and it's with the Socceroos and the Nationals. I don't know what it was. Maybe it was the interest that was sparked 20-odd years ago when we started that trend of being cool with the Socceroos. Damn straight. But, yeah, like that game against Turkey was just incredible. I've said it many times since that game that that was probably one of the best Socceroos games I'd seen ever. Yeah. In my time of watching the soccer, it's just purely from the fact that when we play a World Cup, we come up against these world-class opposition.
And we're not, you know, we don't do much against them. Okay, we were up against France, we were up against Argentina, and we usually probably lose those matches, and we do. Mm-hmm. But we're up against a team that were highly fancied before this match that I actually thought we had no hope against. Also, who would top the group. And the way that we won it and the way that we – was why I think it was probably one of the most incredible games that I'd seen. And to do it on a world stage.
You're in the best position to answer this question. What Aaron Kunda did to score that goal. There's your answer. The degree of difficulty associated with that.
Well, I think he's an absolute superstar. There's no doubt about it. And you guys would know with some of the young talent that come through your football codes is that it's almost they need to realise what they're capable of. We all can see it. It's just them knowing. And I think whether this World Cup, and I'm sure this World Cup will... just showed to him, well, I can do this. I'm incredible. And, uh, because he is, and he just needs to mature into maybe the professionalism of what it needs to take to be at the elite level of football, because you need another level of it. It's, it's especially with, with, uh, with our code, but, um, the way he took that goal was just incredible because the speed that it was at, um, and
