For the few that attended Melbourne Citys first home A-League game of the season, one sentiment was shared.Same old City.How could the side that dismissed cross-town rivals Melbourne Victory 4-1 just six days earlier look so flat and off the pace against Perth Glory in a 3-2 defeat?For so much of the clubs history, its been one step forward and then another one back.City started as short favourites against Kenny Lowes side, but were hit twice at set-pieces and threw away a point with a late defensive bungle.Coach John van t Schip admitted his side looked over-confident and didnt bring that same intent as they did to the derby.Were back on earth after the game we played against Victory, he said.The Dutchman used the same 3-2-4-1 system - that prevailed against Victory, with only Nicolas Colazo dropping out for Anthony Caceres.But City were found wanting against Glory, who were happy without the ball and very comfortable when in possession.Lowe wasnt joking when he said hat-trick hero Andy Keogh could have had six.But for all their defensive frailties, City did look sharp going forward, particularly in the second half.Bruno Fornaroli could have given the home side a 3-2 advantage when his cross was chested by Alex Grant onto the post.Van t Schip said he wouldnt be shifted away from his radical new system after the first speed-bump.(Our intent) was lacking, he said.If you want to play in a certain way ... everybody has to be connected, be at a high level.Tonight the boys obviously tried but the performance was not good.Were in the process of trying to do something, trying to get to a certain level.We didnt reach that level.Its early days but were in a growing process.The low crowd - just 8,076 - for Cahills first home game was a disappointment but it was understandable.Wild weather lashed Melbourne through the day and destroyed any hopes for a bumper walk-up crowd, but City can improve on that number with two further Friday night games in the next three weeks.Jalen Hurd Womens Jersey .

JOHNS, N.LOS ANGELES -- The U.S. Department of Justice is suing AT&T because its DirecTV unit allegedly orchestrated a backroom deal with competitors to not carry the sole channel that broadcasts Dodgers baseball in Los Angeles.The civil antitrust lawsuit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court accuses DirecTV of swapping information with cable companies Cox Communications Inc., Charter Communications Inc. and AT&T -- before it acquired DirecTV -- during negotiations to carry SportsNet LA, the network owned by the Dodgers.The complaint says the companies made the agreements to prevent competitors from offering the channel to lure customers. Dodger fans were bitter they could only watch games through Time Warner Cable -- now owned by Charter -- the past three seasons.The government says DirecTV was the ringleader because it was the only company that unlawfully talked to multiple rivals, and says that DirecTV executives acknowledged that the satellite-TV company would be in a stronger position if competing TV providers also did not carry the Dodgers channel.David McAtee, the general counsel for AT&T, which bought DirecTV in Juuly 2015, said in a statement that cable and satellite TV providers chose not to carry the channel because the companies did not want to pass inflated prices on to customers for a channel devoted only to the Dodgers.dddddddddddd He said AT&T looked forward to presenting its side of the case in court.The Justice Departments suit comes as it also needs to evaluate the telecoms giants proposed $85.4 billion acquisition of Time Warner, the owner of channels including HBO, CNN and TBS as well as film and TV studios.AT&Ts CEO has said that he expects that any concerns regulators have regarding its Time Warner deal could be addressed with conditions on the merger.But John Bergmayer, of public-interest group Public Knowledge, said in a statement Wednesday that the Justice Departments complaint illustrates that it is difficult for the government to monitor companies behavior and enforce any restrictions on behavior that result from deal conditions.---Tali Arbel contributed to this report from New York.
