I hope they mean the portion of the tunnel that is located under the river is where the Huangpu is 1.17km wide...

The tunnel is 1.117km below the Huangpu?? Must be the deepest tunnel in the world!

yeah it was at Hongkou last time too. I'm pretty sure we got tickets from touts outside but it was pretty much a capacity crowd and given the large Korean population here it's probably worth heading to the stadium and getting tickets in advance

> The last time they did this it was a fantastic > atmosphere. That's what I heard too. I was disappointed not to have made the effort to see it. I hope the game (on a Wednesday) will be in the evening so I can catch it after work. The official FIFA schedule: http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/preliminaries/matches/fixtures.html News says it will take place at Hongkou Stadium: http://www.vipticket.com.cn/html/news-1013.html Would appreciate any info on tickets.

It is nice to see that they were sympathetic to the Koreans. Isn't it funny though that symbols of the Taiwan are illegal in China and China goes to great lengths to suppress them internationally too...

The football I mean, not the currency exchange, although, who knows?
