06/24/2010 - Rustenburg, South Africa (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Japan booked its ticket to the FIFA World Cup knockout round with a 3-1 win over Denmark at Royal Bafokeng Stadium on Thursday.
Keisuke Honda and Yasuhito Endo scored first-half free-kick goals to propel the Japanese to a round-of-16 match against Group F winner Paraguay on Tuesday. With the win, Japan earned Group E's runner-up spot behind the Netherlands, which earned a 2-1 win over Cameroon in the other Group E match on Thursday. Cameroon and Denmark are now officially eliminated.
The Japanese, who carried the majority of the possession throughout the game, got the game's first goal inside 20 minutes when Hondo fired a long-range free kick that he struck perfectly inside the left post, just past the fingertips of goalkeeper Thomas Sorensen.
Japan doubled the lead at the half-hour mark on another free kick, this one from just outside the penalty area in the middle of the field.
Honda and Endo both line up over the ball, and with Sorensen expecting a Honda right-footed laser, Endo curled a left-footed shot over the wall and in.
The Danes got a second-half penalty-kick goal after Daniel Agger's bit of diving fooled the referee, allowing Jon Dahl Tomasson to score his country's all-time leading 52nd international goal. Tomasson missed the initial shot but converted the rebound.
Japan took all the doubt out of the match in the 88th minute when Shinji Okazaki tapped in from close range after a Honda setup in the Denmark area to close out the scoring.

It’s time to see how the biggest NFL free agent signings will perform for their news teams. Some will work out and could be the difference that makes a difference in the win column.
We look at the best off-season signings and if they should influence your NFL betting this season. Julius Peppers – Peppers was the biggest prize available on the 2010 NFL free agent market and the Chicago Bears opened the bank to bring his talents to the south side.
Peppers is explosive, he can get around blockers and cause quarterbacks to lose their minds. We all remember the classic Peppers game last year against the Vikings where he hounded Brett Favre into his worst game of the season. Peppers joining the Bears could be the reason Favre retired for good Tuesday morning. In addition to Peppers, the Bears added Chester Taylor to back up Matt Forte, Forte didn’t have the same intensity in 2009 compared to 2008 and bringing in Taylor will challenge Forte to bring it every game or he’ll risk losing carries to Taylor.
Betting on the Bears is a good option this season because of Julius Peppers and to a lesser extent Taylor. Antonio Bryant and Terrell Owens – The Cincinnati Bengals signed two former number one wide receivers to line up with Chad Ocho Cinco. Antonio Bryant had a huge season in 2008 catching 83 passes for over 1200 yards but regressed last season. Playing for the Tampa Bay Bucs last season was a large part of the regression, everyone was bad in TB last season.
Bryant should have a bounce back season if he can win the number two spot from Terrell Owens. If Bryant wins the number 2 WR spot, it will open up a completely new set of problems for the Bengals. If Owens is forced to the bench in favor of Bryant, his attitude will create trouble for Carson Palmer and head coach Marv Lewis. If Owens is the number two receiver, it means Bryant can’t live up to his past numbers and the Bengals are still limited in the passing game. NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. 2010 football betting lines for this can be found at this top online sportsbook. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense.
NFL bettors should be wary of laying their money down on what could potentially be the biggest gong show in the league in 2010. Karlos Danby – The Miami Dolphins have a great running back tandem in Ricky Williams and Ronnie Brown, a good young QB in Chad Henne and now the Bill Parcells regime is building a solid defense. They signed away the Arizona Cardinals top linebacker Karlos Danby. In the past two seasons, Danby has totaled 228 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 interceptions and 3 forced fumbles. The Dolphins are the forgotten team of the AFC East with the second longest odds to win the division but with the addition of Karlos Danby and a trade for WR Brandon Marshall makes the Miami Dolphins legitimate contenders in the AFC East and in the NFL’s Eastern Conference.
The Dolphins will make NFL wagering fans a lot of money this season, get in early and enjoy the cash.
