MILAN -- Spain will be out for revenge when it plays old rival Italy in Turin on Thursday in the standout qualifying match for the 2018 World Cup. Joe Montana Super Bowl Jersey .Italy beat Spain 2-0 in the round of 16 at the European Championship to end its bid for a third consecutive continental title.A lot has changed for both teams since then, but Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci believes the Azzurri need to have that same spirit if they are to pull off a similar feat on home soil.Were playing a different Spain to the one at Euro 2016, Bonucci said on Tuesday. They want revenge and have new motivations.They are still favorites. They have the worlds best players in every department. To upset the odds we will have to play with high-intensity, like we did in Paris, and be clinical in front of goal.Both teams changed their coaches at the end of Euro 2016. The Italy defeat marked the end of Vicente del Bosques long and successful stint as Spains manager, with Julen Lopetegui tasked with rejuvenating a team that won the 2010 World Cup and 2008 and 2012 European Championships.Gian Piero Ventura replaced Antonio Conte, who left for Chelsea after Italys quarterfinal exit to Germany.Spain forward Jose Callejon was recalled to the squad for the first time since his only two appearances for the national side in November 2014 and the Napoli star has an added motivation.It will be special because besides (playing against Italy) the match will be at Juves stadium and the main rivalry we have at Napoli is against Juve, he said.Both teams won their opening qualifiers in Group G, with Italy winning 3-1 in Israel and Spain crushing Lichtenstein 8-0. Italy will be without a crucial member of its Juventus trio of defenders as Giorgio Chiellini is suspended following his red card against Israel.Italy visits Macedonia on Sunday, when Spain travels to Albania, which also won its opening qualifier.Here is a look at some of the other teams bidding to reach Russia in 2018:---ENGLANDAfter a tumultuous week, England is turning its attention to matters on the pitch rather than off it.Coach Sam Allardyces contract was terminated last week after just one game and 67 days in the position. A British newspaper investigation showed Allardyce appearing to offer advice to fake businessmen on how to sidestep an outlawed player transfer practice, and also negotiating a 400,000 pound ($519,000) public-speaking contract.Gareth Southgate, who has been promoted from the under-21 setup until at least November, will be in charge when England hosts Malta at Wembley Stadium on Saturday and away at Slovenia three days later.We need to build on the three points we won in the last game (against Slovakia), and the other side of it isnt our issue, its nothing for us to be concerned about, England captain Wayne Rooney said.As a group of players we need to stick together and concentrate on the football. For the FA Im sure it has been a tough couple of weeks but for the players weve been with our clubs and we have to focus on the games.Scotland also has three points in Group F after winning 5-1 in Malta. It hosts Lithuania before travelling to Slovakia.---GERMANYJoachim Loew is giving his players time to recover from intensive weeks with their respective clubs and will only start working with the side on Wednesday ahead of Saturdays game against the Czech Republic.The short preparation time is unusual but absolutely necessary according to Loew, who feels footballers are playing too many games.Weve reached the limits in sport -- physically and mentally, Loew told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper. We need to be clear that the quality will suffer in the long run.World champion Germany leads Group C after winning 3-0 in Norway. It also hosts Northern Ireland Tuesday.---FRANCEIt has been a big week for one of Frances rising stars as Presenel Kimpembe has gone from playing in Paris Saint-Germains reserve team to earning a debut call-up to the national side.Kimpembe, who is regarded as one of the most promising young talents in France, has made just 13 top flight appearances and the defender played in PSGs B team at the weekend but was called up on Monday as a replacement for the injured Eliaquim Mangala.Its a great joy, its the country, everyone behind us, the 21-year-old said on Tuesday. It shocked me ... Ive been following the France team since I was really young and to be there today is an enormous happiness. I still dont realize it now really but I will do when I see everyone and start training.France, which was runner up at Euro 2016, drew its Group A opener away to Belarus. It hosts Bulgaria before an away match against the Netherlands.---PORTUGALThe European champion also had a disappointing start to its qualifying campaign as, without star player Cristiano Ronaldo, it lost 2-0 in Switzerland.Portugal wont be too concerned though as it also lost its opening qualifier for Euro 2016 without Ronaldo, at home to Albania, and went on to win the rest of its matches -- and the tournament.Moreover, it next faces two of European footballs smaller teams in the Faeroe Islands and Andorra.The squad is stronger because it has Cristiano, but mostly because the other players have more minutes, longer work, more training under their belts. This was one of the problems against Switzerland, coach Fernando Santos said. George Kittle Super Bowl Jersey .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons. Matt Breida Super Bowl Jersey . Tests earlier this week revealed a Grade 2 left hamstring strain for Sabathia, who was hurt in last Fridays start against San Francisco. Its an injury that will require about eight weeks to heal. He finished a disappointing campaign just 14-13 with a career-worst 4. http://www.authenticsf49erspro.com/Garrett-celek-49ers-jersey/ . The judges scored it 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 for Jones (19-1). It was the champions closest call. Despite the loss, it was a remarkable show by the confident Swedish challenger, who had the best of the early rounds and then hung on in the fourth and fifth. NEW YORK -- Two teams looking to play a consistent 60 minutes will square off Sunday night when the New York Islanders continue a five-game homestand by hosting the Minnesota Wild at Barclays Center.The Wild are coming off a 2-1 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils in which it had three shots in the first period, 17 in the second and six in the third period and beyond.Quiet first periods are nothing new for the Wild, who have taken just 25 of their 131 shots this season in the first period. Minnesota (3-1-1) has five or fewer shots in the first period in four of its five games.Im going to have to start telling them the games at 6:30, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said Saturday night. We fall asleep and then we come back in the second and third and play really hard and really well. But weve got to be prepared to play the game. The first five games, the first periods, we havent been ready yet.The Islanders beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-2 on Friday despite taking 16 of their 31 shots during a scoreless second period. New York (2-3-0) has produced seven shots or fewer in six of the 15 full periods it has played this season.Ryan Strome, who scored for the Islanders on Friday, recognized the need to get into a flow during a season-opening stretch in which New York will play 10 of its first 13 games at Barclays Center.Home games are so important for us, Strome said. Our schedules so nice at the beginning of the season. Were home a lot so weve got to take advantage of it, try to get back in the drivers seat here, get back above .500 and get on our horses and go.Secondary storylines to follow Sunday include Wild left winger Zach Parises pursuit of his 300th career goal and the return of Islanders defenseman Nick Leddy.Parise began the season wiith 299 goals but has been held off the scoreboard thus far. Dre Greenlaw Super Bowl Jersey. Boudreau admitted the Wild might be trying too hard to get Parise his milestone goal.You could tell, Boudreau said. There (were) two-on-ones all over the place. Instead of shooting, we were trying to force passes to him.Leddy, meanwhile, is expected to return from a rare injury-related absence. He missed Fridays game with an upper body injury -- the first game he missed because of injury since March 2015 -- but skated with the Islanders on Saturday morning.The return of the Islanders top defenseman will be a welcome sight for head coach Jack Capuano, who had to mix and match Friday after Leddys replacement, Ryan Pulock, suffered a lower body injury that is expected to sideline him for four to six weeks.Just seems like we cant catch a break right now, to be honest with you, Capuano said.Two backups -- the Islanders Thomas Greiss and the Wilds Darcy Kuemper -- are likely to do battle in net.New Yorks No. 1 goalie, Jaroslav Halak, has started the last three games, which should open the door for Greiss to make his second appearance of the season. Gneiss is 2-2-0 in four games against the Wild and claimed the win the last time he opposed Minnesota on Nov. 4, 2014, when he stopped 33 of 34 shots for the host Pittsburgh Penguins in a 4-1 victory at Xcel Energy Center.Wild starter Devan Dubnyk played Saturday night, so Kuemper will probably draw his second start of the season. In his lone career appearance against the Islanders on Feb. 2, Kuemper stopped all eight shots he faced in relief of Dubnyk in the Wilds 5-3 loss at Barclays Center. ' ' '
