It was strange, especially since they were playing in Fukuoka and they rarely get a chance to see the national team. Perhaps tickets were too expensive or the competition against Brazil and China just didn't interest anyone. The next round in at the Tokyo Dome and it should be a better turnout.
Meanwhile in Taiwan, the crowd was nuts!
