Help with buying a new lens

[bijdez...]

hello photo forum, in need some help with buying a new lens. I have a nikon d-40 with an 18-55mm lens. the problem is the lens does not zoom well at all so and i am looking for suggestions on a better lens. I would like a lens that works well for sports games and has a good zoom.
