SYDNEY - Now that Australia and South Korea have secured their spots in the Asian Cup quarterfinals, attention has quickly turned to which of the continental heavyweights will top the group. NMD Dam Rea .Australias 4-0 demolition of Oman in Sydney on Tuesday night ensured both the Socceroos and South Korea advanced — both teams have six points from two games. Theyll meet in Brisbane on Saturday to determine rankings in Group A.Australia already is well ahead on goal differentials with eight already. South Korea has won both its games 1-0, beating Oman on the weekend and Kuwait in Canberra on Wednesday, albeit with a much weakened lineup.The South Koreans finished third in 2011 Asian Cup, when Australia lost the final to Japan.South Korea coach Uli Stielike was clearly unimpressed with his stuttering attacking lineup, which was reshuffled due to injuries and illness. Nam Tae-hee scored the only goal in the 36th minute against Kuwait, which was coming off a 4-1 loss to Australia in the tournament opener.With football like this, you cannot win the tournament, Stielike said. With a performance like today, you cannot go far in this tournament.The Australians, meanwhile, are playing the kind of football that coach Ange Postecoglou has been promoting since he took charge in the leadup to the World Cup.Matt McKay and Robbie Kruse scored goals and Mark Milligan converted from the spot to make it 3-0 at half time. Tomi Juric added a fourth after the break.Im really pleased, I think the players were really fantastic tonight, Postecoglou said. They worked really, really hard and the quality of our football was really outstanding from the first minute.Against a tough opponent, I thought we got command pretty early.Oman had proved to be a troublesome opponent for Australia since their first meeting at the 2007 Asian Cup — where only an injury-time equalizer by Tim Cahill salvaged a point for the Socceroos. The Oman lineup started brightly again, with Raed Salehs fierce volley from 25 yards acrobatically saved by Mat Ryan after three minutes.Australia made the first breakthrough, though, when Massimo Luongos corner kick was headed toward goal by defender Trent Sainsbury, and Matt McKay bundled the ball past goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi in the 27th minute. Kruse added another three minutes later and it was virtually all over after Milligan took his penalty just before the break, to the delight of the 50,276-strong crowd.They were better than us, Oman coach Paul Le Guen said. For the first 30 minutes before the opening goal it was quite ok, because we created some, but obviously it was not enough.Really they have a good balanced team. They have power, they have impact and thats why they are favourites of the competition.Oman and Kuwait, already out of contention, meet in Newcastle on the weekend in their last group game.Australia rested injured captain Mile Jedinak, and withdrew Tim Cahill after 51 minutes to save his legs for later in the tournament.South Korea had to overcome the loss of star winger Lee Chung-yong, who was ruled out with a fractured shin in the hours before kickoff. The South Koreans made seven changes from the lineup that opened the tournament.Lee was injured in the win over Oman last weekend. It is unlikely he will participate in the rest of the tournament, which finishes with the final on Jan. 31.Right-back Kim Chang-soo has also failed to recover from his injury, while attacker Son Heung-min, midfielder Koo Ja-cheol and goalkeeper Kim Jin-hyun were all kept off the team due to sickness.Two teams are playing to avoid elimination in the second set of matches in Group B on Wednesday, with North Korea playing three-time champion Saudi Arabia in Melbourne.China and 2011 semifinalist Uzbekistan, on three points each, will meet in Brisbane. NMD Skor Butik .S.-Portugal game on June 22 in the Amazonian jungle city of Manaus. FIFPro, the international soccer players union, had pressed FIFA to avoid the earliest kickoffs in the hottest and most humid weather. Adidas Falcon Dam Rea .com) - The Vancouver Canucks hope an upcoming stretch of home games will be enough to get the club into the postseason. http://www.nmdsverige.com/falcon-adidas-skor.html . His fellow Finn, 21 years his junior, had just arrived in Anaheim and was hoping to stick with the Ducks.COLUMBUS, Ohio - The NHL Foundation agreed to donate $200 for each shot on goal at the leagues All-Star game on Sunday night.It ended up being a bonanza for charity.In the biggest offensive display in the exhibition games 60-year history, the 92 shots cost the NHL $18,400.John Tavares of the New York Islanders matched a record with four goals, and Team Toews beat Team Foligno 17-12 on Sunday in the highest-scoring NHL All-Star game.The game likely will also cost the NHLs goalies and defencemen a lot of sleepless nights.In addition to the garish goal total, 25 players had at least two points and eight had at least four.We had so many good players on each team, said Philadelphia Flyers forward Jake Voracek, who tied another record with six points. Theres going to be a lot of goals.DEBATE FOR MVP: Tavares may have tied the goal output of legends Wayne Gretzky (set in 1983) and equaled by Mario Lemieux (1990) — and also tied by Vincent Damphousse (1991), Mike Gartner (1993) and Dany Heatley (2003) — but he wasnt the game MVP.That honour went to hometown favourite Ryan Johansen, the Blue Jackets centre, who had two goals and two assists — for the losing team.The MVP was determined by a vote of fans on Twitter. Apparently, Islanders fans werent paying attention on social media.Tavares was gracious in not getting the new car that goes to the MVP.I didnt come to the game trying to get the car, he said. You get four goals, and obviously you think you have an opportunity. But Ryan had a good game. He had a couple of nice goals, made some nice plays.BROKEN RECORDS: It was the most goals in an All-Star game, eclipsing the 26-goal burst in North Americas 14-12 victory over the World in 2001.Voraceks six points tied another mark set by Pittsburgh legend Lemieux.Captain Jonathan Toews of the Chicago Blackhawks had a goal and four assists, as did Bostons Patrice Bergeron. DDallas Tyler Seguin had two goals and two assists, Filip Forsberg of Nashville, and Rick Nash of the New York Rangers — another former Columbus star — both scored twice, and Floridas Aaron Ekblad and St. Adidas NMD R1 Sverige. Louis Vladimir Tarasenko each had four assists.For Team Foligno, Chicagos Patrick Kane and Tampa Bays Steven Stamkos had two goals and an assist apiece, Philadelphias Claude Giroux had a goal and two assists, and Washingtons Alexander Ovechkin added three assists.QUOTE OF THE GAME: The Blue Jackets fire an ear-splitting salvo with their goal cannon — the franchise is named for the Union uniforms which were made in the city — after each goal by the home team. With Columbus Nick Foligno and Johansen playing together, Toews said he was thrilled to not have to hear more of the thunderous booms.Its loud enough that it gets on your nerves pretty quickly and especially when they score 12 or so goals, he said. It gets you a little bit.BEST MOMENT: Late in the second period, during a scrum in front of the net, Ovechkin and Foligno pretended to mix it up with Calgarys Mark Giordano and Chicagos Brent Seabrook.They sort of traded awkward hugs. Then everyone separated and cracked up as they skated to the benches.A WINNING VISIT: NHL officials, players and the fans raved about the many activities surrounding the All-Star weekend in Columbus, a first for the city.Johansen said he was touched by what he saw the past few days.Its meant a lot, being a part of it — seeing the fans and how much theyve been enjoying all the festivities, he said. We did a two-hour (autograph) signing. Everybody just seemed to be having a great time. All the kids were laughing and having a lot of fun.The players, at least those focused on offence, had a lot of fun of their own once the game started.___Follow Rusty Miller on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/RustyMillerAP ' ' '
