MADRID -- Sevilla wants to show it is ready to reach the next level.After three straight titles in the Europa League, the Spanish club is hoping to thrive among the best soccer teams on the continent.And the first step toward that goal may come Tuesday against Juventus, when it can secure a spot in the knockout round of the Champions League for the first time since 2010.A draw against the Italian champions at Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium will be enough to get the club back in the decisive stages of Europes top competition, and a win will guarantee first place in Group H.We want to advance now so we dont have to depend on a result in the final game in Lyon, Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli said Monday. We must try to take control of the game from the start and go after the victory. We are not thinking that a point will be enough.Sevilla won five Europa League titles in the last 11 seasons, but it has not succeeded in the Champions League since making it to the round of 16 in the 2009-10 season, when it was eventually eliminated by CSKA Moscow. It also advanced past the group stage in the 2007-08 season, when it later lost to Fenerbahce in the last 16.---GROUP EHarry Kanes return from injury might just be the catalyst that revives Tottenhams Champions League campaign.The England striker, who was the Premier Leagues top scorer last season, has scored three goals in his first two matches back after seven weeks out with an ankle injury, and should lead Tottenhams attack for what could be a must-win game at Monaco.Tottenham has only four points from four games so far, and will be eliminated if they fail to win in southern France and Bayer Leverkusen wins at CSKA Moscow.Monaco leads the group by two points. If the French team wins, it will be assured of qualifying in first place if Leverkusen doesnt win in Russia.---GROUP FLeicester gets a second chance to clinch qualification for the knockout stage in its first Champions League campaign. This time, it comes at home.The English champions host Club Brugge at King Power Stadium, needing only a draw to advance. Leicester beat the Belgian team 3-0 in their first meeting in the group and is still unbeaten after four games.The situation couldnt be more different in the Premier League, with Leicester only two points above the relegation zone after a tough start to its title defense.This season Im watching behind me, Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri said. The relegation is very close to us.Leicester is three points ahead of FC Porto, which visits third-place FC Copenhagen in the groups other game.---GROUP GStill unbeaten this season, defending champion Real Madrid needs a draw at Sporting Lisbon to reach the last 16 of the Champions League for the 20th straight time.The game marks a return to Lisbon for the first time since winning the 2014 trophy against Atletico Madrid at the Estadio da Luz.Cristian Ronaldo, again facing the team in which he started his career, will have another chance to become the first player to score 100 goals in European competitions. The Portuguese forward, coming off a hat trick in the Madrid derby in the Spanish league, is two goals short of the milestone.Borussia Dortmund, boosted by a win over Bayern Munich in the German league, can secure first place when it visits already eliminated Legia Warsow. It will be without goalkeeper Roman Buerki, who broke his hand in the match against Bayern.Sporting needs to defeat Madrid to stay alive.---GROUP HA victory at Sevilla will guarantee Juventus a spot in the next round, although it can also advance if Lyon fails to win at Dinamo Zagreb.The Italian champions will travel to Spain with a depleted offense, however, because Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala are out with injuries, leaving only Mario Mandzukic and 16-year-old Moise Kean as options to play up front. Defenders Medhi Benatia and Andrea Barzagli are also out injured.Sevilla may be without injured midfielder Samir Nasri.Juventus was held by Sevilla to a 0-0 home draw earlier this season, and a loss to the Spanish club in the group stage a year ago left the Italians second in their group.Sevilla has won seven of its last nine matches, with the only setbacks coming in a draw at Sporting Gijon and a home loss to Barcelona.---Tales Azzoni on Twitter: http://twitter.com/tazzoni Cheap Braves Jerseys . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament.

Bob Uecker Braves Jersey . Down by seven with 90 seconds left in regulation, thats where they looked comfortable. Justin Fuente doesnt seem to be hitting the panic button just yet after nine Virginia Tech fumbles in the first two games, but the first-year coach of the Hokies knows his teams ball control needs to dramatically improve.The Hokies (1-1) overcame four fumbles in their opening victory against Liberty, but werent able to do the same when they coughed it up five times against 15th-ranked Tennessee last week. The Vols rolled to a 45-24 victory.The Hokies begin Atlantic Coast Conference play at home against Boston College (1-1) on Saturday.I would say were fumbling the ball too much. Thats a fact, Fuente said. We must -- its not an option -- get that fixed. That is a result of several things. We have to do a better job technically.Looking at the last two games, when we talked about it with the team yesterday, theres some technical things there that weve got to get cleaned up, some emphasis that weve got to do a better job. Theres a little bit of toughness and selflessness that goes into holding on to the football that we havent had, he said.The Hokies fumbled 16 times all of last season, but lost just seven.Quarterback Jerod Evans has thrown five touchdown passes in two games, but has also fumbled the ball away three times. A fourth fumble came when center Kyle Chung snapped the ball over Evans head for a 21-yard loss.That fumble, and two others, came inside the Hokies 10 yard-line, setting up short touchdown drives. Another was returned 71 yards for a touchdown by Alpha Jalloh in Virginia Techs season-opening victory against Liberty.Against Tennessee, a botched handoff to C.J. Carroll on a jeet sweep led to a recovery for the Vols at the Hokies 5.dddddddddddd Virginia Tech led 14-0 at the time, but Tennessee converted with a touchdown, the first of their 31 unanswered points.You do have every once in a while those occasions where you hold on to the ball and no matter what the defensive player just puts his hand in the right place and the ball, Evans said. And then you have those cases where weve been having, where were not thinking about it a lot and were thinking about making extra effort plays that were not actually thinking about protecting that ball.We just have to make a conscious effort to protect the ball more than getting those extra two or three yards, if thats the case. If thats not the case, then get those two or three yards but definitely we have to make a better effort, consciously, to protect the ball.The Hokies have switched to a more up-tempo offense under Fuente, but he doesnt view that as an issue.When I look at it, I see it as kind of what we talked about, he said. Theres some technique involved and ... weve got to be less selfish and more selfless and a little bit tougher. I see this as weve got to do a better job. You could go back to say if you have a better chance to fumble the football if you have 90 plays as opposed to 60 plays. Thats obvious. But I dont see that as a deal. It hasnt been in the past.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegefootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr ' ' '
