After 3 giornate, only 3 clubs are still at full points: Sampdoria, who defeated Atalanta 1-0 in Bergamo with a goal from Daniele Mannini; Juventus, who saw Lazio off with a 2-0 win thanks to Martin Caceres and David Trezeguet; and Genoa, who thumped Napoli 4-1 with Sergio Floccari, Giandomenico Mesto, Hernan Crespo, and Houssine Kharja all scoring their first goals of the season.

It was a weekend of some nice goals. First, let's just say that Fabio Quagliarella ALMOST scored the goal of the season (he did however score 2 goals on the night). You can watch that video here. Diego scored his first goals in Serie A, Julio Cruz scored his first goals for Lazio, Alberto Paloschi continues to look more and more like the new Pippo Inzaghi, Giampaolo Pazzini continues to score, and Antonio Cassano worked some magic again.

12.15 Motherwell v Rangers, Scottish Premier League, Sky Sports 3/HD3
Three games in and both sides have yet to taste the bitterness of defeat. Rangers go into this with a 100% record and haven't lost any of their the last 24 games against Motherwell.

Some nice goals this week. We're still very early into the season, but two possible goal of the year candidates were scored this weekend. Samuel Eto'o's strike vs. Parma and Giandomenico Mesto's screamer vs. Napoli are joys to behold. Goals of the week after the jump.

Let's start by saying that Roberto Baronio isn't exactly a household name in Italian calcio. The casual fan may not even know who Roberto Baronio is or what position he plays (Baronio is a classic regista that plays in front of the defense and dictates the play. His passing skills are excellent, especially his long passing, and he is good at set pieces).

Lazio coach Davide Ballardini has called on his players to show they are worthy of their lofty league position when they play Juventus on Saturday.

Two consecutive victories have placed the Roman side as joint Serie A leaders with the Bianconeri, Sampdoria and Genoa.

But this weekend's encounter in Rome should prove if Lazio have what it takes to remain in the higher echelons of the top flight having so far come up against Atalanta and Chievo, who did not really test Ballardini's men.

I always like to watch videos of bloopers, and this time I've found a Serie A blooper video from the early 2000's. Always entertaining, and it includes a mistake from Buffon!! (how often do you see those?)

Video after the jump.

And since we're on the topic of Buffon mistakes, here's another one I remember from a couple of years ago:

As we predicted few weeks ago on these pages, Juventus got off to a great start in Serie A. Two wins are a clear sign of the difference in the quality between Inter and Juventus has been significantly reduced and the biggest Italian club might regain domination in Serie A.

Excellent transfer campaign was supported by Lippi's might shadow hidden behind his pupil Ciro Ferrara.

Lots of goals scored this week, with only one 0-0 draw (Napoli-Udinese) and many teams scoring 3+ goals. There were some nice ones this week. Goals after the jump.

Emanuel Rivas vs. Atalanta - The Bari midfielder scores a nice opening goal. Dribbles to the center and unleashes a laser strike from around 20 yards out.

Despite having a strong U-21 side, Italy's other youth national teams don't really have a glorious history. All of Italy's youth focus is directed to the U-21 team, and you never hear anything about the other sides. In addition, besides the U-21 team Italy's youth sides have never really won anything, despite participating at many tournaments.

Sampdoria are top of the table alone for the first time in 18 years. A week ago I wrote an article saying that Sampdoria could be the surprise of the season, and right now that hypothesis is still holding up. While it's almost impossible for them to win the scudetto and considering the fact that Gigi Del Neri's teams usually suffer a drop in form after the winter break, they should be challenging for a spot in Europe next season, whether that be Europa League or Champions League that remains to be seen.

I'm just going to throw it out there: this might be the worst goals of the week post of all time. Nothing spectacular at all this weekend, most goals were very plain and ordinary. Of the 18 goals scored this weekend, about 3 are top goal worthy. But let's see this week's goals of the week (hoping that Giornata 7 brings us better ones):

Massimo Maccarone vs.
