MILAN - With Juventus headed for a fourth straight Serie A title, little appears to have changed since Massimiliano Allegri replaced Antonio Conte as coach.One crucial difference, however, is that Juventus has advanced to the second round of the Champions League, something Conte failed to achieve last year.Allegri is intelligent, he has started well, he has studied and changed the system, bringing only benefits to the team, Juventus director Pavel Nedved said.Juventus hosts Sampdoria on Sunday, and second-place Roma plays Genoa a few hours later.Here are some things to know about this weekends matches:___SURPRISE SAMPDORIAAfter finishing 12th last season, Sampdoria has had a strong start this time with only one loss in 14 matches.But the team faces a tough test when it travels to Juventus Stadium on Sunday.Juventus is the strongest team in Europe and has been for a long while, said former Italy and Juventus coach Marcello Lippi, who also played for Samp and coached in its youth sector. It is the most difficult match for any team. But Sampdoria is having an extraordinary season and so can get any result in every match, including Sundays.___ROMAS BELIEFOnly days after missing out on advancement in the Champions League, second-place Roma will visit third-place Genoa.Could this have a boomerang effect? Lets not ask these questions. Its not a tragedy or a step backward, Roma director Mauro Baldissoni said. We were in a very difficult (Champions League) group and we had the chance to qualify right to the last game.We know our aims and among those is that of winning the title. We believe in it, there is no need for any extra motivation.Roma, which missed an opportunity to close the gap on Juventus last week, is three points behind the Serie A leaders.Like city rival Sampdoria, Genoa has also had an impressive start to the season and is currently third.___FIORENTINA FORWARDSFiorentina striker Khouma Babacar is likely to be out until the new year with a thigh injury, dealing another blow to the team.Babacar, who has scored four league goals this season, is the third forward out of action, with Giuseppe Rossi and Federico Bernardeschi sidelined with long-term injuries.Fiorentina will have to lean heavily on Mario Gomez, who recently scored his first goal in eight months after an injury-hit spell.Its properly a curse, Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella said.

Adidas Continental 80 Heren . Former two-time Olympic gold medallist Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle tested positive for the stimulant methylhexanamine in both her "A" and "B" samples, the German Olympic Committee said.OAKLAND, Calif. -- Nick Foles didnt know he had etched his name in NFL history until after he came out of the game. That must have been because he was too busy shredding the Oakland Raiders defence to keep up with his impressive statistics. Foles tied an NFL mark with seven touchdown passes and threw for 406 yards to revitalize Philadelphias struggling offence in the Eagles 49-20 victory over the Raiders on Sunday. "A couple people came up to me and said that I tied the record with seven touchdowns," Foles said. "Its a great honour. Hats off to our guys for doing a great job." The backup quarterback connected three times with Riley Cooper to become the seventh passer in NFL history with seven TD tosses in a game. Peyton Manning did it for Denver on opening night this season against Baltimore. Foles also threw scoring passes to Brent Celek, Zach Ertz, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson as the Eagles (4-5) looked nothing like the offence that failed to score a touchdown in each of the past two weeks. "Every defence the past couple of weeks has been stopping us," McCoy said. "So today we were kind of feeling bottled up and we released everything. Its tough when youre not winning and youre not putting points up." The Raiders (3-5) had appeared much improved on defence in recent weeks but were completely flummoxed by coach Chip Kellys spread offence that stalled recently after a fast debut in the NFL. Foles completed 22 of 28 passes as he frequently exploited mismatches and blown coverages, starting with a 42-yard quick pass to Cooper on the opening drive when the Raiders had two defenders trying to match up with three receivers. McCoy took a short pass and ran 25 yards untouched for his score in the third quarter and Jackson raced past Mike Jenkins on his 46-yard touchdown later in the third. Foles then tied the record with a 5-yard pass to Cooper with 4:28 remaining in the third quarter, matching the mark also held by Sid Luckman, Adrian Burk, George Blanda, Y.A. Tittle and Joe Kapp. Burk did it for the Eagles in 1954 against Washington. With more than a quarter to go to break the record, Foles was unable to get the Eagles back into the end zone on the next two drives before being replaced by Matt Barkley. "I know what the record is," Kelly said. "But this isnt about records, its about going out and getting a win. If I put Nick out there to try to get a record and he gets hurt, thats being silly. Records are meant to broken when theyre supposed to be broken." That was about all Foles couldnt do in his first game since being held to 80 yards on 29 passes before leaving with a concussion two weeks ago against Dallas.dddddddddddd Foles only got another shot this week because regular starter Michael Vick reinjured his hamstring in a loss to the New York Giants last week. But now, it will be tough to take out Foles, who has 13 touchdown passes and no interceptions this season. "Everybody started acting like his career was over after that Dallas game but they forgot that he had played some good football before that," centre Jason Kelce said. "A lot of that criticism will probably be halted for at least one week." So too will the critiques of how Kellys offence will translate to the NFL. Viewed as revolutionary when the Eagles gained 322 yards in the first half of the season opener against Washington, the offence had been held to 478 yards and one field goal the past two weeks before breaking through against the Raiders. Foles repeatedly targeted rookie cornerback D.J. Hayden as he led the Eagles to touchdowns on their first four drives for the first time in three years. Hayden was beaten on successive plays by Cooper for a 17-yard completion and 63-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. "When a quarterback has seven touchdowns, we have to sit there and take that personal," cornerback Tracy Porter said. "We cant give a guy seven touchdowns in a game, let alone put up 49 points on us. It was flat-out embarrassing that we allowed that to happen." The Raiders couldnt keep up with Philadelphias torrid scoring pace despite gaining 560 yards -- their third-most ever and most since 1968. They had one first-quarter drive stall in the red zone for a field goal and then couldnt play catch-up in the second half when the Eagles turned a 28-13 halftime lead into a blowout. Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor threw for 288 yards and ran for 94 more, but also had two interceptions and took two sacks in a shaky performance. He left the game in the fourth quarter with a knee injury that he does not believe is serious. "Its embarrassing," Pryor said. "I hate losing. Its not acceptable to me and I dont like it. All the guys in here agree with me. We have to do something about it instead of tanking it." NOTES: The 49 points for the Eagles were their most since beating Washington 59-28 in 2010. ... Oakland RB Darren McFadden left in the first half after re-aggravating a hamstring injury that kept him out of one game already this season. ' ' '
