Japan lost their opening game of the tournament to Nigeria, but that form was franked when Nigeria came out and beat Sweden earlier this morning. The Japanese are a much better team than their opening performance suggests and they can keep their hopes alive with a win over Colombia at a juicy price.
The New York Red Bulls have really struggled to score goals at times in Major League Soccer this season and the Los Angeles Galaxy have the best defence in the entire competition. It is tough to see the Red Bulls breaking down the Galaxy and LA have enough firepower to get themselves on the scoreboard and the three points.
The Penrith Panthers suffered a heart-breaking loss at the hands of the New Zealand Warriors last weekend, but they have an excellent chance to bounce back against the Sydney Roosters. The Panthers are 8-4 on the back of a loss this season and they have won five out of their past seven games as home favourites.

Essex could expose a bit of weakness in the Nottinghamshire bowling and the $2.25 currently on offer is a good bet.
