TORONTO -- The United States was eliminated from contention at the World Cup of Hockey by a 4-2 loss to Canada on Tuesday night that featured a clinical, dominant performance by the tournament favorite and a disappointing showing by the Americans.The U.S. (0-2) couldnt keep up with Canadas talent, depth or speed in a game it needed to win to stay alive. Canada and Team Europe clinched spots in the semifinals, while the Americans are left to analyze what went wrong on the international stage yet again.We didnt play well enough, coach John Tortorella said. You look at some of those players on our roster, there are some pretty good skilled players and we just simply did not do enough offensively and we self-inflicted quite a bit in two games.Matt Duchene scored twice and Corey Perry and Patrice Bergeron each had a goal for Canada, which got 34 saves from Carey Price. U.S. goalie Jonathan Quick stopped 30 shots, keeping the game from becoming even more of a blowout.Ryan McDonagh and T.J Oshie scored for the U.S., which ended Prices shutout streak at 228:41.U.S. general manager Dean Lombardi said in June that his goal was to build a team that could beat Canada. The American roster, heavy on size and grit and light on speed and skill, was widely panned when it was announced, and it took more hits as the U.S. flamed out of the World Cup.Tortorella said hes still waiting for the U.S. to generate some offense. Among those left off the roster were forwards Phil Kessel, Paul Stastny and Kyle Okposo, and defensemen Justin Faulk and Kevin Shattenkirk.Minutes after the game went final, Kessel tweeted : Just sitting around the house tonight w my dog. Felt like I should be doing something important, but couldnt put my finger on it. It was just his third tweet in the past year, one of which was a picture of him raising the Stanley Cup.Captain Joe Pavelski said everyone picked for the team deserved to be there.This loss dropped the U.S. to 1-5 against the worlds top hockey power in best-on-best competition going back to the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.The Americans still have one round-robin game left, Thursday against the similarly lame-duck Czech Republic.On Tuesday night, the play was even more lopsided than the score indicated, with Canada grabbing control after McDonaghs rebound goal 4:22 in. Counting the World Cup and Olympics, the U.S. has only two goals over the last 11 periods.The U.S. lead lasted 1:29 as Duchene and Perry scored 14 seconds apart. American defenseman Dustin Byfuglien, inserted into the lineup to provide offense, lost Duchene and allowed him to put the puck into a wide-open net.Tortorella, whose decisions have been second-guessed since he was named coach -- another move that was criticized -- tried unsuccessfully to challenge Perrys goal for goaltender interference. He then appeared to unsuccessfully yank Quick for Ben Bishop after Duchenes second goal, even though Max Pacioretty botched a clearing attempt and Erik Johnson was caught flat-footed, but he was talked out of it by his assistants.Quick was hardly to blame for another U.S. debacle. Canadas fourth goal came when John Tavares undressed Matt Niskanen and banked the puck in off the skates of McDonagh and Bergeron. His play was a rare bright spot on another dark night for USA Hockey, which now has major changes to contemplate.The American players had their own individual problems against Canada that werent cured by Oshies late goal. Tortorella said his best players had to be his best players, and aside from Quick that was not the case.We lost, Tortorella said. It wasnt good enough.Hart Trophy winner Patrick Kane had a secondary assist on McDonaghs goal but was a nonfactor the rest of the night. Pavelski and winger Zach Parise also failed to make a difference in one of the biggest games for this generation of Americans that had developed a reputation for coming up short against Canada.Its definitely frustrating being an American and having these opportunities and have nothing to show for it, Kane said.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno.

Victoria 367 and 5 for 201 (White 40*, Richardson 3-36) beat South Australia 405 and 162 by 5 wicketsScorecard Cameron White continued his outstanding start to the season by steering Victoria to a five-wicket win over South Australia on the fourth day at the MCG. The Bushrangers were set 201 for victory and at 4 for 109, the match still could have gone either way. But White, captaining the side in the absence of Matthew Wade, scored an unbeaten 40 to keep the Redbacks at bay.Victoria began the morning on 0 for 36 and soon lost opener Travis Dean in unusual fashion when on 20 he tried to evade a Kane Richardson that didnt bounce as much as he expected, and the ball bounce off his arm and onto the stumps. Axed Test seamer Joe Mennie picked up two wickets when Marcus Harris was caught behind for 34 and MMarcus Stoinis was trapped lbw for 11.ddddddddddddGlenn Maxwell, batting at No.4, moved to a watchful 29 before he flashed at a Richardson delivery outside off stump and played on, and when Aaron Finch (33) fell to a fine diving catch by wicketkeeper Alex Carey off Richardson, the Victorians were 5 for 152. It meant 49 runs were still required with only five wickets in hand.However, wicketkeeper Sam Harper (26 not out) accompanied White through to the finish to complete a fine win for Victoria, who had conceded a first-innings lead. White finished the match averaging over 100 in this Shield season so far, having already topped the competition run tally in the Matador Cup. ' ' '
