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.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.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- A vintage performance from 40-year-old slugger David Ortiz, a big night from Travis Shaw and another fine outing by David Price helped the Boston Red Sox inch closer to first place in the AL East.Manager John Farrells ballclub even got a peek into its future when highly touted Cuban prospect Yoan Moncada made his major league debut.Ortiz singled twice and drove in three runs, Shaw homered and had five RBI while Price won his fifth consecutive start as the Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 16-2 on Friday.Hanley Ramirez added three RBI and Xander Bogaerts doubled and scored three runs to help the Red Sox move within one game of first-place Toronto in the AL East. Boston (75-59) moved within three wins of matching their total of last season.(Price) set the tone for us, Farrell said. From there the offense took over.Price (14-8) was mostly dominant while pitching seven solid innings against the overmatched As. The left-hander fanned five of the first seven he faced, gave up two runs and finished with seven strikeouts and three walks.Over his last five starts Price is 5-0 with a 2.06 ERA.Im just making a lot better pitches, keeping the ball out of the middle of the plate for the most part, Price said. Just executing pitches and being able to throw everything that I have in whatever count it is, it doesnt matter.Stephen Vogt had an RBI double for the As. Oakland, which has lost eight straight to Boston, dropped a season-high 20 games under .500 (57-77).Ortiz hit run-scoring singles in the first and fifth innings and added a sacrifice fly in the sixth to push his RBI total to 105, two behind league-leading Edwin Encarnacion of Toronto. He walked in the third one batter before Mookie Betts sacrifice fly off Zach Neal (2-4).Neal, pressed into duty when starter Andrew Triggs left with back tightness after one inning, allowed five runs over 3 2/3 innings.Shaw doubled in Ramirez to cap Bostons four-run fifth then hit his 15th home run of thhe season in a six-run sixth, a three-run shot off J.ddddddddddddB. Wendelken. Shaw doubled in Moncada in the eighth, marking the fourth time this season hes had five RBI in a game.Same thing Ive been working on for about two weeks now, staying in the middle of the field and trying to drive the ball the other way, Shaw said.The As did all of their scoring in the fourth. Billy Butler had a sacrifice fly and Vogt added his double.For a while we were in the game, Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. We came back to tie it and then they did what they can do when you make some mistakes.MONCADAS DEBUTMoncada, the highly touted Cuban-born prospect who received a record $31.5 million signing bonus when he inked a deal with Boston last year, made his major league debut and drew a five-pitch walk in the eighth after being called up from Double-A Portland before the game. Moncada struck out swinging in the ninth. In a three-inning look you see some exciting skills, Farrell said. It was a glimpse but he had a chance to show off two of the tools.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Joe Kelly, LHP Robby Scott and INF Deven Marrero were added to the roster from Triple-A Pawtucket. ... C Ryan Hanigan came off the DL before the game.
