Urawa Reds Supporters in Shanghai
Indeed, the most notable aspect of the afternoon was the relatively
large number over 1,000 of Urawa Reds supporters who made the trip
over the East China sea. Just watch this impressive clip. This figure
is far bigger than the number of travelling fans normally seen at
Chinese league games. It's only fair to point out though the economic
advantages Japanese have when travelling to China. It was also clear
that the Japanese consulate's warnings to the Urawa fans not to fly
the Japanese flag or wear club colours had fallen on deaf ears. There
wasn't any sign of trouble however and the red-shirted Urawa
supporters mingled freely with their Shanghainese hosts on the Pudong
streets after the match.

As it is said there are some anti-Japanese feeling and there was a chinese
riot at the final of Asia Cup 2004 in Shanghai, some Urawa supporters expected
embattled situation, but the match was hold friendly. Shanghai Shenhua
supporters are not organized (due to the marger of two clubs ?), they
are respectful toward Urawa that some net media said they tried to exchange yells.
Urawa supporters delivered a culture to division 2 supporters in Japan
when they played in J2 league in 2000, what will happen in Asia?
