## Resource

Pete and Flem are joined by Socceroos legend Archie Thompson, who's traded the football boots for golf clubs in retirement, and is finding it every bit as humbling as you'd expect. Archie opens up about his full-blown obsession with the game, his current handicap, and the shots that just won't stop haunting him. But first, the boys can't ignore the elephant in the room, Australia's stunning 2-0 win over Türkiye at the 2026 World Cup. Archie breaks down what the Socceroos got so right, why Nestory Irankunda is the real deal, and why Group D is suddenly very exciting. World Cup fever, golf confessions, and a man who once scored 13 goals in a match trying to break 90. Tune in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
