cheers

Mariano Rivera stood by himself, in the center of the diamond at Yankee Stadium. For once, the great closer wasn't sure what to do next.

So he smiled, blew a kiss to the crowd, and then doffed his cap as cheers washed over him following the record 602nd save of his career.

"Oh, my God, for the first time in my career, I'm on the mound alone," Rivera said.

Diving face down through Britain's biggest mudbath, teenage reveller Tom Wilder has ensured the cheers started early at Glastonbury.

James Milner turned the jeers to cheers after his strike sealed a comprehensive 3-0 victory over West Ham in what could be his final appearance for Aston Villa.

By the end of an extraordinary afternoon in which they had scored four times so effortlessly, Chelsea were reduced to wasting time and Petr Cech was the recipient of ironic cheers when he managed to catch a high ball.
