If you slept through the weekend, here's what you missed:
AFL - Collingwood and Essendon won through to the Grand Final of the pre-season competition. The game will be played at Etihad Stadium on Friday night, although the AFL is wishing they could magically shift it to the MCG to cater to the large club followings. Meanwhile, Ricky Nixon is back in the country, but has stood down from running his agency to go into rehab.And the human wrecking-ball confessed on Sixty Minutes that she wasn't pregnant, so never miscarried. Please, let the season start!
EPL - A Dirk Kuyt hattrick for Liverpool gave them a 3-1 victory over stuttering Manchester United, meaning Arsenal's profligacy in a 0-0 draw with Sunderland went unpunished. Arsenal now trail by 3 points with a game in hand.
CWC - In the cricket World Cup, a seemingly unstoppable South African team were stopped by a modest England total in familiar circumstances, when they lost their last 3 wickets cheaply to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Yet another English nailbiter, while India held off a gallant Ireland and Australia's evenly poised match with Sri Lanka was eventually rained out.
NBA - The Lakers are hot, beating the Spurs in San Antonio for their 7th straight win, while the Heat are not, crashing to their 4th straight loss. The coach reported that "there are couple of guys crying in the locker room right now". Thanks Coach. I guess they are finding out what a few EPL teams are also experiencing...lots of great players does not mean you always win. Shame that. See Yankees. And Real Madrid.
