GOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLL!
Soccer: The EPL has already produced plenty of excitement just three weeks into the season.
Soccer fans have certainly been vocal on the recent poor performances of the black and red. Here's one of many comments from the SBS website's soccer forum: "Milan is more of a retirement plan than a serious contender these days. I shoot my head when their fans actually got excited about ronaldinho and then later on in the season beckham for loan. Over the hill and out of touch, the way milan is heading. This is their just reward for focusing much more on the senior players and not giving the younger players a go."
Rain won't stop the parade
Cricket: Heavy rain denied

Lloyd ready to be heartbroken
The invective directed at Lloyd from Campbell Brown and Hawks coach Alistair Clarkson was out of line. Lloyd's bump was not malicious, but it was reckless, and deserves at least three weeks given the recent Buddy Franklin hearing.
His presence or lack thereof in this Friday's clash against Adelaide will make little difference though. The Bombers will be no match for the Crows.
The Bulldogs were scintillating against the Pies and the Cats will be anxious at having to meet the Dogs in what should be a ripper of a qualifying final on Sunday. I have doubts as to whether Geelong can rediscover the magic. I have more faith in St Kilda overcoming their recent bout of the wobblies and handing over them to the Pies.
