Police control Japanese soccer fans at the Shibuya scramble crossing Friday morning after Japan's 0-0 draw with Greece. Police beefed up their presence after at least 20 women complained of being groped in the big crowd last Sunday after watching after the game between Japan and Cote d'Ivoire.

It appears that Police Force outnumbers soccer fans, anything so serious?

Rather than cordon off pedestrians I don't know why they don't just cordon off traffic. They do that sort of stuff for the Tokyo Marathon and the like.

i would say just let boys be boys, but after reading about the groping then they have to effectively shut the scramble down. no need for that, boys.

It seems soccer fanatics are the most prolific gropers.

With the regular news about police taking pictures up women's skirts and doing other lewd acts, should women be any less worried by a strong uniformed presence?

Nothing says 'fun' like a bunch of out-of-shape old coppers with yellow bands directing, not traffic, but people.

Sounds like someone is obsessed with Korea.

Team Japan sucked. If you can't even beat Greece, you don't deserve to go up to the Final 16.

It is great that they are supporting the soccer team. As for the women who complained about being groped, why are you surprised. Of course there are going to be guys that are going to grab your booty in a big crowd. Honestly I would have done the same thing.
