International Career
Arge made his debut for the Faroe Islands national football team in an August 1992 friendly match against Israel and earned 37 caps and 8 goals between 1992 and 2002. He is most memorable for scoring his country's first ever World Cup goal against Cyprus in April 1993. His goal against Spain in the Faroe Islands in 1996 is also famous for his celebration after defeating the world's best goalkeeper at that time, Zubizarreta. One of his best performances was in the 2-2 draw against Bosnia Herzegovina on homeground in 1999, where he scored both the Faroese goals. He also had a massive influence on the remarkable comeback against Slovenia in the Faroes in 2000, where the Faroese team came from being behind 0-2 to clinch a 2-2 draw three minutes from time with goals from Arge and Øssur Hansen. Arge formed the perhaps best Faroese attacking duo ever together with former FC Copenhagen star striker Todi Jónsson.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
