SYDNEY - The Asian Cup final between Australia and South Korea presents the familiar conundrum of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object.Australia, the tournaments highest-scoring team with 12 goals in five games, takes on a South Korean lineup that is yet to concede a goal in five games, including one that went to extra time — so 480 minutes of football.That is the contrast between the teams ahead of Saturdays final, but what they share is a desire to add a major cup to less-than-overwhelming trophy cabinets.South Korea has not won the Asian Cup since 1960, having lost in the final three times since. Australia has a vast array of regional titles from its time in the Oceania confederation, but none since switching to the Asia in 2006. The Socceroos lost the 2011 Asian Cup final to Japan.All those kind of things again become a little bit irrelevant when youre talking about a one-off game on such a big occasion, Australia coach Ange Postecoglou told a news conference on the eve of the championship match. Previous records go out the window because every moment is so crucial in a big game.Home-ground advantage, at the 83,000-capacity former Olympic stadium in Sydney, plus the absence of a couple of key South Korea players, should give Australia a slight advantage despite a 1-0 loss to the South Koreans in the group stage — a game where key attacking players Tim Cahill, Robbie Kruse and Mathew Leckie all started from the bench as Postecoglou sought to keep his squad fresh ahead of the knockout stages.Well just do what we have been doing, Postecoglou said. Its proven to be successful so far and there wont be any secrets about how we go about it tomorrow.Well take the game to the opposition as we have every game. Well put pressure on them and its up to them to try and stop us from creating opportunities and scoring goals.Two-time champion South Korea defeated Iraq 2-0 to qualify for its first Asian Cup final since 1988 and captain Ki Sung Yueng sees it as an opportunity for the Taeguk Warriors to reassert itself in the Asian region in a way not seen since its run to the 2002 World Cup semifinals.We always say that Korean football is one of the best in Asia, because we always went to World Cups, we went to a semifinal and qualified for the group stages, Ki said. However, on the other hand, we never (recently) won the Asian Cup, which Japan and Saudi (Arabia) have won more than us.So, its a little bit of shame for ourselves that we never proved that we are the biggest team in Asia. This is a great opportunity to show people that we can be champions.After joining the Asian confederation from Oceania in 2006, Australia has quickly become a force at the continental championship, making the quarterfinals in its inaugural attempt in 2007, before losing the final to Japan 1-0 after extra time in Qatar four years later.Postecoglou believes Australias successful hosting of the Asian Cup, with more than 600,000 fans attending the 32 matches, has been a major boost to the game in the country, regardless of the outcome of the final.My pride comes from the fact that the game in this country has got a real big kick in this last month, Postecoglou said. Every game has been well supported and people have understood what joy and drama football can bring.As a kid growing up in this country nothing makes me happier than people talking about football.One concern for Australia is the fitness of right back Ivan Franjic, who jarred his hip in the second half of Tuesdays semifinal win over the United Arab Emirates.Franjic will train today and if he gets through training, hes available to play, Postecoglou said.___AP Sports Writer Chris Lines contributed to this report.

Cavaliers shooting guard Craig Ehlo makes a solid play on the ball, but still Jordan hits the amazing shot.OAKLAND, Calif. -- Road-weary David Phelps finally pitched well away from home. The New York Yankees scored in bunches without the benefit of a home run. And they beat the ALs best team in a place they had not won in more than two years. Indeed, things are turning around fast out west. Phelps tossed two-hit ball into the seventh inning and two relievers were perfect the rest of the way, leading the Yankees past the AL-best Oakland Athletics 7-0 on Friday night for their fourth straight victory. "Its definitely one of the best starts of my career," said Phelps, who struck out four and walked three in 6 2-3 innings. Phelps (2-4) didnt allow a hit until Derek Norris soft single over the head of third baseman Kelly Johnson with one out in the fifth. Jed Lowries double in the seventh was Oaklands only other hit. Dellin Betances recorded four straight outs, and Jose Ramirez pitched a perfect ninth for New York. Jacoby Ellsbury, Mark Teixeira and Brett Gardner each drove in a run as the Yankees built a 3-0 lead against Sonny Gray (6-3) in the first two innings. New York scored four more in the eighth off Jeff Francis. Six different Yankees drove in a run, and New York had 12 hits in all. "Thats the recipe for scoring a lot of runs," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Coming off a three-game sweep at Seattle, the Yankees kept rolling on the road against the AL West. New York is 5-2 on its nine-game trip and is assured of heading home with a winning mark. The Yankees pounded an As team that began Friday leading the majors in run differential by more than double any other team. Oakland had outscored opponents by 130 runs; the next closest club was San Francisco at 59. Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 17 games with an RBI single during a two-run first inning. Brett Gardner added aan RBI single in the third before Gray found his groove.dddddddddddd Oaklands young ace retired 13 straight batters, but his teammates never could fluster Phelps -- or New Yorks bullpen. "They were aggressive and once we were able to start making pitches down in the zone I got them out. It was just a little too late," said Gray, who gave up three runs and seven hits in six innings. He struck out seven and walked one. Ichiro Suzuki drove in two runs, and Brian McCann and Johnson each hit RBI singles to put the Yankees up 7-0 in the eighth. New York had lost all five of Phelps road starts this season, including his last outing at Kansas City, where he allowed seven runs in 5 2-3 innings. But Phelps pitched a gem in Oakland, a place the Yankees had lost seven in a row. He also snapped a career-high, four-game skid in front of an announced crowd of 36,067 -- the fifth sellout in Oakland this season -- that had the usual strong sprinkling of Yankees fans to make Phelps feel at home. "I was attacking guys," Phelps said. "The last couple starts I was trying to be too fine with my pitches and digging myself in a hole. But tonight, they did a great job scoring early for me and kind of let me settle in a little early." NOTES: The As showed a video tribute of Bob Welch and held a moment of silence the former As pitcher and 1990 AL Cy Young Award winner. Welch died Monday at 57 of undisclosed causes. ... Girardi said RHP Michael Pineda, who went on the disabled list May 6 with a shoulder strain, is unlikely to return until August. ... Oakland RF Josh Reddick ran on the field for the first time since going on the disabled list June 3 with a hyperextended right knee. He also hit in the batting cage. ... Scott Kazmir (7-2, 2.20 ERA) starts for Oakland opposite New Yorks Hideki Kuroda (4-4, 4.12) on Saturday.
