Japan is out but left the World Cup with class
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."
