Japan is out but left the World Cup with class

in #japan6 years ago

The Japanese national team said goodbye to the World cup in Russia when they lost the game against Belgium in quite a heartbreaking way. With about 20 minutes left to play Japan had a 2-0 lead but Nacer Chadliś equliser in the last seconds of the game destroyed their dream about an quarter final against Brazil.

Even though the World cup ended in a really sad way they showed quite extraordinary gratefulness when the fans cleaned the stadium and the team players and staff left the dressing room cleaned up and with a note written in Russian: "Thank you Russia"

Quite an example for all other teams...and for everyone.

Quote from twitter:

"I've been travelling the whole world and have come to the conclusion that Japanese people are the most civilised, polite, humble, friendly and clean people you can find. I don't want to moralise but what a contrast to the decline of norms and values in the Western world."
