Does Archie Thompson read my blog?
A day after my latest blog about Archie Thompson appeared on the Australian FourFourTwo website, a story along similar lines appears on the Sportal website.
I said:
“This self-made pressure appeared to be playing its part in the first two games of the season as Thompson looked to be trying a little too hard and not pulling his weight in a leadership type of role, especially in the absence of Kevin Muscat. Also evident was his frustration at team-mates, match officials and opposition defenders when things didn’t quite go his way.”
He said:
“I think it was just, personally, I was putting too much pressure on myself, I felt. Instead of going out there and enjoying myself like I usually do, I was caught up in the World Cup hype and everything like that and I forgot about the smile on the face”
Hmmm . . . .
