SYDNEY - The second set of group matches kicks off Tuesday at the Asian Cup, with host Australia against Oman at Sydney and two-time champion South Korea playing Kuwait in Canberra. Greg Olsen Panthers Jersey .Heres some things to watch in the Group A matches:AUSTRALIA vs. OMAN (0900 GMT): Australia opened the Asian Cup last Friday with a resounding 4-1 win over Kuwait in Melbourne, a confidence-boosting start to the tournament for the hosts after conceding a surprising early goal.Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou will be forced into changes against Oman, though, with skipper Mile Jedinak struggling with an injured left ankle. Veteran Tim Cahill, Australias leading international goalscorer, will lead the team in Jedinaks absence.Oman had a 1-0 loss to South Korea in its opening match in Canberra, narrowly missing a stoppage-time equalizer that would have earned the team a valuable point.Postecoglou said hed heed the lessons learned at the World Cup in Brazil — when the Socceroos took Chile and Netherlands right to the wire before a lopsided loss to 2010 champion Spain in their last group match — and rotate his players in the preliminaries rather than going into later matches with a fatigued starting lineup. Australia and South Korea meet in the last group match on Saturday.Weve learnt pretty clearly at the World Cup by the third game we were pretty spent as a group because we relied on a core group of players, Postecoglou said. We dont want to fall into the same trap. We want to do well in all three games and (Oman) is a very, very important game for us.Postecoglou said Oman made it tough for South Korea, and he expected his lineup to confront a similar bustling, counter-attacking game.While (South) Korea dominated the chances and possession you saw right up until the last minute the game was in the balance, Postecoglou said. They are always a tough opponent for us.Centre back Trent Sainsbury said three points against Oman would give Australia every chance of progressing.We got off to a great start against Kuwait, but this is equally as important, if not more so, he said. If we get that three points, then were through. Its a massive game for Australia. Were at home, weve got a point to prove.___KUWAIT vs. SOUTH KOREA (0700 GMT): Swansea City midfielder chi Sung-Yuengs is expected to be central to South Koreas push for back-to-back group wins.Coach Uli Stielike is demanding improvement from his South Korea lineup, which dominated possession and had considerably more chances against Oman but had to settle for a 1-0 win, courtesy of Cho Young-cheols goal in first-half stoppage time. Oman didnt get a shot on goal until substitute Amad Al Hosnis header in injury hit the crossbar.Stielike said the two-time champions were under intense pressure in South Korea to improve on the semifinals appearances at the last two Asian Cups. He said he saw positive signs in the second-half against Oman.I prefer a hard, tough match in our opening game so we can learn from our mistakes and get better and better in the tournament, he said. I feel thats better than winning 5-0 and then everyone thinks you can win the Cup and you get smaller and smaller instead.There was some doubt over the fitness of defender Kim Chang-soo and Bolton Wanderers midfielder Lee Chung-yong, who were both injured during the opening match.Normally the players know one day before the game the starting lineup (but) in this case its not like this, Stielike said. Not because I dont want to give it to them, but at the moment we dont know what players are ready.And despite Kuwaits lopsided opening loss to 2011 finalist Australia, Stielike said the team had South Koreas full attention.I dont consider Kuwait a weak side, he added. I know some people believe South Korea will have an easy time against Kuwait, but I will tell my players to be careful.Kuwait went into the tournament opener with limited preparation under new coach Nabil Maaloul, who is hoping to have attacking options Bader Al Mutawa and Yousef Naser fit and ready to start.Team spokesman Nawaf Al Enezi said the players had put the loss to Australia behind them.Against Australia we played well, and created a lot of chances, and the players sprit was high, he said. We know the Korean style, and I hope we can play with the style that (Maaloul) wants and get a good result. Greg Olsen Authentic Jersey . "I have had no discussions with Chad Johnson or his representation," Popp said Friday in an email. However, he appeared to confirm a report on Twitter from TSN this week that Johnson was on Montreals negotiation list. Custom Carolina Panthers Jerseys . The South Africa international, who rejoined the club last month on loan from Tottenham, opened the scoring in the sixth minute with a powerful shot into the roof of the net. http://www.thepantherslockroom.com/women-luke-kuechly-jersey/ . The Brazilian-born strikers brace drew him level with Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo as the leagues leading scorers with 17 goals apiece through 16 rounds. "The important thing is to help the team win, not the goals," Diego Costa said. After a first half dominated by defence, Atletico pressed Valencia into its area and Diego Costa did the rest.Daytona Beach, FL (SportsNetwork.com) -- NASCAR announced a radical change to its qualifying format for the Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series on Wednesday, making it similar to knockout qualifying used for Formula One and IndyCar Series road/street course races. At NASCAR racetracks measuring 1.25 miles or longer in length, qualifying will consist of three rounds. Tracks measuring less than 1.25 miles will feature just two segments. NASCAR noted its revised qualifying format will not be used for the Daytona 500 (Feb. 23) and the Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway (July 23), which is the only national touring series event contested on a dirt track. It also wont be used for the Sprint Cup non-point races -- the Feb. 15 Sprint Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway and the May 17 NASCAR Sprint All- Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "Were looking forward to the new qualifying format for all three of our national series this year," NASCAR vice president of competition Robin Pemberton said during a teleconference. "The new format is something that weve been looking at for quite some time. The goal is providing a more fan- friendly and exciting qualifying session for each race event across the board, with the exception of the Daytona 500 and Eldora, which are unique in their own right. "NASCAR fans will be treated to highly competitive elimination-based qualifying segments that will be more engaging to the fans in the stands and those watching on television or online." For those races on tracks 1.25 miles or greater, the first qualifying elimination round will be 25 minutes in duration and includes all cars/trucks. Cam Newton Panthers Jersey. The 24 entries that post the fastest single lap from the opening segment will advance to the second round. The remaining cars/trucks will be sorted from their times in descending order posted during the first segment. The 12 cars/trucks that recorded the quickest single lap during the second round, which is 10 minutes in length, will then advance to the third and final segment, which lasts five minutes. Positions 13 through 24 will be based on lap times during the second round. Positions 1 through 12 will be determined during the final round, with the driver posting the fastest lap winning the pole position. There will be a five-minute break between each of the three qualifying rounds. For those tracks shorter than 1.25 miles, the opening segment in qualifying will be 30 minutes in duration and includes all entries. The 12 cars/trucks that recorded the fastest single lap time will advance to the second segment. The remaining field will be determined by lap times in descending order during the first round. Positions 1 through 12 will then be decided in the final segment, which is 10 minutes in length. "We believe the timing is right for this new style of qualifying, and for our drivers and teams, we believe that it will create even better competition leading into the event," Pemberton said. NASCARs new format is scheduled to be used for the first time on Feb. 21 when the Nationwide and Truck Series have qualifying for their season-openers at Daytona. Sprint Cup will utilize the format beginning with the March 2 race at Phoenix International Raceway.
