A few nice goals this week, but nothing extraordinary. Giuseppe Mascara scored one of his
trademark wonder-goals, and Marco Borriello got back on the scoresheet with 2 goals (the second a
nice scissor kick) after almost a year. Diego Milito got back to his scoring ways as well after
being absent through injury, and Mirko Vucinic finally scored his first goal of the season.

The Offside 02 November @ 05:00 PM EST
[Spotted on l'OM Offside] Fantastique blog fodder from Marseille's favorite bench-riding l'enfant
terrible Hatem Ben Arfa, who had a slight wardrobe malfunction this weekend. Summoned to enter a
losing cause, Hatem whipped off his tracksuit to unsuspectingly unveil a #11 Mamadou Niang kit
adorning his back.

Napoli won vs. Juventus in Torino for the first time since November 20, 1988, when Maradona's
Napoli won 5-3. Since then, there had been 11 wins and 5 ties, and Napoli hadn't scored in Torino
since March of 1998. This Napoli side has been rejuvenated under Walter Mazzarri, and they have
shown they have a never say die attitude that keeps them working for the full 90 minutes.

I just stumbled across this clip of Ronaldinho bringing a second ball onto the pitch in
the match against Parma. He got booked for the incident but its the commentator's laugh that I find
truly hilarious...
Just watch it over and over with the volume on, brilliant..

The MLS playoffs continue tonight with Columbus traveling to Sandy, Utah to take on Real Salt Lake
in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series (6 p.m. Direct Kick). If Real Salt Lake is
to have any chance against the regular season champion Crew they need a result tonight -- as they
typically struggle mightily on the road.

Nell'anticipo serale di Serie A, il Milan vuole cancellare l'amarezza per la rimonta subita al San
Paolo (era in vantaggio per 2 a 0 contro il Napoli) e conquistare l'intera posta in palio. Ma
l'ostacolo di questa sera, il Parma di Guidolin, è un cliente particolarmente scomodo per i
rossoneri. Il tecnico veneto sembra aver trovato l'alchimia giusta e la coppia d'attacco,
costituita dal bulgaro Bojinov e il talentuoso (scuola Milan) Paloschi, è davvero temibile.

Juventus are looking to end an impressive week on a high when they host Napoli on Saturday.
Third-placed Sampdoria expect to erase the humiliation at the hands of Juve and focus on
maintaining their unbeaten run at the Luigi Ferraris stadium against Bari.
Promoted side Parma are determined to defend their fourth position in the standings when they
travel to the San Siro to meet AC Milan on Saturday.

Although we are only 10 games into the season, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is starting to look more and
more like a big flop. 15 million euro were spent on the Dutch striker, and even if he reaches 5
goals this season it would seem like a big achievement. Sure you can say that he needs time to
adapt to a new style of play, new language, new culture, but it's already November almost and we
still have not seen Huntelaar's name on the score sheet.

I didn't put up a Weekend Round-up yesterday because I figured with the midweek round tomorrow,
it would be pointless to update everything twice. So we'll dive in straight to Goals of the Week.
Not as great as last week, but still some good goals, especially Daniele Mannini's one-time volley
vs.

The Beauty: Alena Seredova is not telepathic, but I think she can communicate
without talking. It is her brilliant eyes. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words", and
the one of Alena to the left is no exception. She communicates a lot with her look, like "I'm so
much hotter than you".

Remember that fabulous Parma team that lifted the UEFA Cup in 1999?
Led then by manager Alberto Malesani the team was made up of superb talent from the back to the
front. A young Gainluigi Buffon kept goal, protected by a back three of Lillian Thuram, Fabio
Cannavaro and Nestor Sensini.

This is going to be a good goals of the week post. There are many nice goals, and in particular
the goals from Stankovic and Dessena are awesome to watch. Goals after the jump.
Dejan Stankovic vs. Genoa Stankovic notices that Amelia makes an error on the clearance and moves
to the right, hitting the ball on the volley from way out and it sailed over Amelia and into the
net.

The picture on the left is the photo sequence of Dejan Stankovic's 54 meter long strike vs Genoa
on Saturday. Marco Amelia messed up his clearance, and Stankovic coordinated a beautiful volley
that sailed over Amelia and bounced into the net. Goals from midfield are always nice to look
at.

After the international break, the man of the moment is undoubtedly Alberto
Gilardino. The Fiorentina striker scored 4 goals in 2 matches with the Azzurri, including
the impressive hat trick in 14 minutes vs. Cyprus. He now has 16 goals in 38 appearances (now level
with Gianluca Vialli and Luca Toni) for the Azzurri and looks to be the headline striker heading
into South Africa this June.

Dirty Tackle 08 October @ 01:02 PM EST
The AP is reporting that Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro has failed a doping test, which Juventus
claim is a result of using cortisone to treat a bee sting. But, given the propensity for athletes
to use cortisone shots regularly and legally, it's hard to believe that that's really the case.
From the report:
CONI would not say when Cannavaro tested positive, but said Torri would hold a hearing with the
defender and the physician involved in the case.

Sorry I didn't get up a weekend round-up yesterday, it was a really busy day. However I don't
want to disrupt the weekly order so I'll go straight to Goals of the Week. Last week was probably
the worst goals of the week post of all time. I think this week made up for it with some quality
strikes.

Italian league leaders Sampdoria are brimming with confidence heading into this weekend's game
against Parma. This follows their 1-0 victory over three-time defending champions Inter Milan last
week, a victory that pushed Samp one point clear of Juventus after six matches of the season.

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):

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 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:
