BRISBANE, Australia - Keisuke Honda and Shinji Kagawa helped engineer Japans 4-0 rout of tournament newcomer Palestine and Iraq edged Jordan 1-0 on Monday as the last two winners of the Asian Cup won their Group D openers.Therell be little time for celebration, though, with Japan and Iraq meeting Friday in a match that will likely determine which team tops the group.Defending champion Japan took a 3-0 lead in the first half with goals from Yasuhito Endo, Shinji Okazaki and Hondas penalty in wet and windy Newcastle. Maya Yoshida scored after the break from Kagawas cross.In modern football its not easy to win by four goals, Japan coach Javier Aguirre said. So as for tonights result I am happy by winning by four goals.Japan has won four of the last six Asian Cups, and is seeking an unprecedented fifth title. Iraq was a surprise champion in 2007, when the tournament was co-hosted in four Southeast Asian countries.Younis Mahmoud, the star of that tournament, returned to lead Iraq in Brisbane, but lacked match fitness and was replaced just a few minutes before Swindon midfielder Yaser Kasim scored the winner with a deflected shot in the 77th.We treated this game like a final, Kasim said. It was very important to get the win. The boys are very happy, we just have to calm down and look forward to the second game.Iraqs last group match is against Palestine, giving Iraq the seemingly easier run after the big match against Japan.Japan is one of the top teams of Asia (but) we go into it with a plan ... to win, Kasim said. We cant think of the game after Japan. We cant take anyone lightly, and we cant respect anyone too much, even though we know how good Japan is. The most important thing is we play our game.The Palestinians, who qualified by winning the AFC Challenge Cup in the Maldives last year, got an early taste of competition in Asias top flight.Japan needed only eight minutes to score its first goal as Endos long-range strike beat Palestine captain and goalkeeper Ramzi Salehs dive.Endos early goal was great, said Okazaki, was voted player of the match. It gave the team great momentum. We played well, however, we could have been better.We are not satisfied with four goals we should have scored more.The best chance for the Palestinians came in the 81st, when they were a man down, but Abdallatif Albahdari sent his header narrowly wide.A small group of Palestinian fans in the crowd of 15,497 waved flags, beat drums and sang throughout the match.The feeling has touched our emotions, Palestine coach Ahmad Alhasan said. This is the only national team that plays in this tournament that is still under occupation.To see the Palestinian people everywhere in the world can be gathered to support Palestine.Palestine will next play Friday in Melbourne against Jordan, which also finished with 10 men after Anas Bani Yaseens rough challenge on Iraqi midfielder Saad Abdulameer in the 84th resulted in a second yellow card. Iraq had a chance to go further ahead two minutes later but Abdul Zahras powerful strike from Dhurgham Ismails cross was tipped away by Shafi.Jordan had three shots on target, including two tame long-range strikes in the first half that were both easily handled by Jalal Hassan, but squandered a series of opportunities around the hour mark with a glut of possession in the attacking third.Jordan coach Ray Wilkins said he was disappointed not to at least get a draw.I felt during the game we were more than equal, more than worthy of earning a point, Wilkins said. My team at the moment are very disappointed and down. Its my job to pick them up and get started again.Wilkins knows he needs to work on the finishing.Thats the slight problem weve been having, is the last third of the pitch, he said. Weve put teams under difficulty when weve attacked, but we need a little bit of luck to go our way. We need it to go off someones backside and fly in the net. That will kick-start Im sure a good period for us.Group A is back in action on Tuesday, with 2011 finalist Australia against Oman and two-time champion South Korea playing Kuwait.

So he and his Toronto FC teammates say they will have no problem getting up for their Amway Canadian Championship final against rival Montreal Impact, even if the result doesnt count toward Major League Soccer standings. SOCHI – Just to prove theyre not always inseparable, Anaheim Ducks Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry were about 175 feet apart as the Canadian mens Olympic hockey team wrapped up its practice on Wednesday. Perry was down in one end, working on his stickhandling, deftly displaying his soft hands as he manoeuvred a puck through a jumble of other pucks. Getzlaf was standing in front of the crease in the other end, showing off his eye-hand coordination as he deflected in shots from the point. Soon afterwards, however, the two of them walked back together to the Athletes Village and chatted about Canadas Olympic tournament opener against Norway on Thursday (Noon, ET). Getzlaf and Perry were side by side. Now thats a scene familiar to their Ducks teammates. Thats why theyre called the twins in Anaheim. "We just hit it off early in our careers," Perry said, in explaining why Getzlaf to Perry has become a common refrain for NHL play-by-play men since they busted on the scene together back in October 2005. "Weve become close off the ice and I think thats why weve been so good for each other on the ice. Hes the guy who makes plays and carries the puck. Im more of an up-and-down player who goes to the net. Someone has to go to the net." Championship combo That combination has produced a Stanley Cup championship in 2006-07, an Olympic gold in Vancouver four years ago, Rocket Richard Trophy and Hart Trophy for Perry in 2010-11, and who knows what will happen in Sochi. On the road, there arent many times Getzlaf and Perry are apart. They sit together on buses and planes, at team dinners and beside each other in the Ducks dressing room. They get along like brothers and that means they occasionally get sick of each other, too. "Thats why we go our separate ways at home and dont see much of each other," Perry said with a chuckle. "He has a family. So we know this a good time to give each other space." Getzlaf was born in Regina on May 10, 1985, and six days later Perry arrived into the world in Peterborough, Ont. Neither recalls the first time they met each other, but it was back in 2002 at the CCanadian under-18 summer camp.dddddddddddd Perry made the team, scored five times in five games and helped Canada win the old Eight Nations Cup. Getzlaf was left at home. The following spring, it was Getzlaf who played for Canada and won gold at the under-18 world championship while Perry was busy with the London Knights playoff drive. But they would meet again at the 2003 NHL entry draft in Nashville. The Ducks selected Getzlaf 19th, and then snatched Perry with the 28th overall selection. "Thats the first time I remember meeting [Perry]," Getzlaf recalled. "We met later that evening. But we didnt talk that much." Friendship takes off The talk picked up after that. They went to the Ducks training camp in 2003, the Canadian world junior summer camp in Calgary in 2004. They both made that team, but they played on different lines. Perry was with Sidney Crosby and Patrice Bergeron. Getzlaf played between Andrew Ladd and Jeff Carter. "Id say that was when we really got to know each other and the friendship started to take off," Perry said. "We were both Anaheim draft picks and we started to hang out more with each other." A few months after Getzlaf and Perry celebrated world junior gold together, Perry went on to win the Memorial Cup in London and Getzlaf would get an early start on his pro career with a 10-game stint in the AHL Calder Cup playoffs with the Ducks farm club in Cincinnati. It was at the Ducks training camp in 2005 that Getzlaf and Perry immediately were paired together and have had Frick and Frack relationship ever since. Expectations high in Sochi The expectations are high for Getzlaf and Perry in Sochi and their new linemate, Patrick Marleau of the San Jose Sharks. The Ducks have been one of the best clubs through 60 games because of the twins play. With 29 goals and 67 points in 56 games, Getzlaf hit the Olympic break second in the Art Ross Trophy scoring race, 11 points behind Sidney Crosby. Perry is third in the league in goals scored with 30. "Were having a good season and obviously it would be nice to continue that over here," Perry said.
