If you want live scores, the author of the footiefox extention (https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=725) for Mozilla firefox granted me use of his feed yesterday, email him and ask. alternatively, I found this site:
http://www.goalslive.com/en/ which appears to offer some sort of feed to a "ticker"
Hope that helps
Vijay.

A brilliant site. Just what I've been looking for. If they provided live
