LONDON -- Tottenham won at Wembley Stadium at the third attempt in the Champions League, beating CSKA Moscow 3-1 on Wednesday to secure third place in Group E and a consolation place in the Europa League.Dele Alli and Harry Kane were on target as Tottenham won for only the second time in six games on its return to Europes elite competition after a five-year absence. A defeat in Monaco two weeks ago ended Tottenhams hopes of advancing to the round of 16 of the Champions League. CSKA is out of Europe after finishing bottom of the group with only three points.The Russian visitors took the lead at Wembley through Alan Dzagoev but Alli swept in Christian Eriksens cross and Kane tapped into the net on the stroke of halftime to put Tottenham in front. The win was wrapped up in the 78th minute when goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev initially blocked Allis shot but then managed to scoop the ball into his own net.Tottenham, which also won in the reverse fixture in Moscow, was beaten by Monaco and Bayern Leverkusen in its previous games at Wembley.Mauricio Pochettinos side is using English soccers national stadium for European games this season while its White Hart Lane home across north London is gradually demolished to make way for a new stadium on the same site.Tottenham is also due to play its domestic games at Wembley next season before moving into the new stadium in 2018.Tottenham will now enter the second-tier Europa League in the round of 32 in February. Winning that competition secures a route back into the Champions League or by finishing in the Premier Leagues top four. Tottenham is fifth in the domestic standings. Yu Darvish Jersey . Pedro scored from a pass by Lionel Messi in the 33rd minute and added two more goals in the 47th and 72nd after Valdes saved his second penalty in four days following his stop in Wednesdays 4-0 over Ajax in the Champions League. Greg Maddux Cubs Jersey . -- Bobby Ryan helped the U. http://www.thecubsteamshop.com/Cubs-Javier-Baez-Kids-Jersey/ . Louis. To which I would say two things: 1. Where there is smoke, there is or perhaps has been a little fire. Or, in other words, the two teams would appear to have at least spoken. And spoken is defined as one calling the other to inquire, no more, no less. David Ross Cubs Jersey . Durant finished with 24 points and 13 rebounds, Jackson matched his career high with 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting and Lamb scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting, lifting the Thunder to a 94-88 win over San Antonio and snapping the Spurs 11-game winning streak. Fergie Jenkins Cubs Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. The greatest gymnast Mary Lou Retton has ever seen is a wonder.She has the power to get such height on the vault it seems as if shes bungee jumping from the roof.She has the energy to make the final tumbling pass of her boundary-pushing floor exercise -- when most of her peers are breathless and counting the seconds until the music stops -- as fresh as her first.She has the poise to flip and swoop and turn on a 4-inch wide slab of wood 4-feet off the ground so fluidly its like an X Games version of ballet.The god-gifted ability of explosiveness and just her athleticism, you cant teach that, said Retton, the 1984 Olympic champion. You cannot teach that. You can teach somebody to be a little bit more graceful. You can teach someone more skills, but you cant teach that special unique quality that Simone has.Get ready to know Simone Biles. In her sport, the live-wire 19-year-old from Spring, Texas, enjoys first-name only status, the byproduct of a three-year run of dominance that includes 14 world championship medals with a record 10 golds and three all-around titles.Were joking she should have to compete with the guys, Retton said. Shes so good. She pushes it. Shes just special.If still somewhat anonymous outside of the buzzing fans who inhabit the social-media driven gymternet. For all of the awe Biles inspires, the one thing -- really the only thing -- Biles lacks is that Olympic moment of triumph with the world -- the whole world, not just part of it -- watching.Its that Olympic all-around gold medal, the Queen Bee, the most important, Retton said. Yeah I think she needs it as part of her repertoire.There is no denying Biles excellence. She could never turn another backflip and her spot in her sports pantheon would be secure. Yet to the general public, she remains somewhat unknown. It took her two world titles before Twitter would verify her. Her followers -- currently in the 82,000 range -- total just 10 percent of those who follow 2012 Olympic champion (and 2016 teammate) Gabby Douglas.Its like you still need that one puzzle piece, said 2004 Olympic champion Carly Patterson. Its just crazy. You really need to have that checkmark to be looked at as one of those tops. Thats what it seems like. Her career is incredible and you wonder if that creates so much pressure.Such is the fine line Biles, her family and longtime coach Aimee Boorman have been trying to walk in the run-up to Rio. While they have taken steps to maximize the potential a golden moment in Rio would provide -- Biles turned professional last spring -- they have also been careful in creating internal expectations focused more on the process than the end result.She could quit tomorrow and still be a world champion, said Boorman, who coaches at the aptly named World Champions Centre, the state-of-the art training center/passion project the Biles family opened in suburban Houston last fall. We tell her that is people want to put pressure on her to win the Olympics, thats their pressure, not hers.For Biles, its not about her scores. Biles doesnt pay mmuch attention to them.dddddddddddd Its not about winning, maybe because every meet she has entered since the 2013 US championships has ended the same way: with Biles atop the podium ducking her head so the latest medal to her ever-growing collection can be draped around her neck.Its not even about her highly GIF-able routines either, the ones that leave her peers in awe. If Biles is being honest, she doesnt even know the formal terms for some of the skills she does anyway.Theyre like, `Oh, you did a ... and Im like, `I did a what? Biles said. No, I flipped twice. I twisted twice. They go `its called a ... and Im like `Why do I need to know that? I just need to go and do that.While Biles is happy to talk about shopping, favorites pictures of junk food on Instagram and kidnapping Steph Currys kids so she can babysit them (as she did on Monday after securing a spot on the five-woman team while easily winning the Olympic trials), shes not interested in fangirling over herself.It hurts my head, but its fine because its something I do every day, Biles said. You cant avoid the gymnastics questions.Particularly the most basic one. How?We all have skills I guess, she said.Maybe, but Biles somehow seems to have all of them.The sports code of points -- overhauled over a decade ago to get rid of the 10-point system in favor of one designed to great a higher risk/reward factor -- forces its competitors to make a choice between aggression and precision. Biles is the rare gymnast who doesnt have to choose. She can do both.If you made it look as easy as Simone, youd be smiling too, said former Olympic Bela Karolyi, whose wife Martha has turned the U.S. national team into the Harlem Globetrotters in leotards and ceiling-scraping hair buns. There is no one to compare Simone to.On the final night of Olympic trials Sunday night Biles drilled her intricate Amanar vault and earned a 16.2, the highest of the meet on any event. The score included a 9.9 mark for execution, as close to perfection as the judges let things get these days. Her two-day total on vault of 32.200 was 1.3 points clear of runner-up MyKayla Skinner, the equivalent of a three-touchdown win in football.Theres so much cushion between Biles and the rest of the world that even a fall or two like the one on beam Sunday night that briefly set her eyes ablaze -- a miscue that would jeopardize the medal hopes of most -- is basically no big deal. Not that it mattered to Biles. Shes spent the last three years setting a standard that is uniquely hers, which may be her most remarkable talent of all.Typically you can have an athlete thats head and tails above the rest, they might rest on their laurels a little bit, said seven-time Olympic medalist Shannon Miller, a member of the 1996 U.S. team that won the countrys first team Olympic gold. They might slide a little bit. She doesnt. Shes at the top of her game every time.The ultimate stage awaits. ' ' '
