Japan leave dressing room spotless after agonising World Cup defeat to Belgium

Japan were 2-0up in the 52nd minute on Monday nightbefore goals from Jan Vertonghen (69'), Marouane Fellaini (74')and Nacer Chadli (90+4') condemned the Asian nation to a crushing last-16 defeat.But even though Japan were cruelly denied their first ever appearance in a World Cup quarter-final, it emerged post-match that the players had left their Rostov Arena dressing room squeaky clean with a handwritten note.FIFAgeneral co-ordinator Priscilla Janssens tweeted a photo of thetidy space and wrote: "This is the Japanese dressing room [pictured above] after losing to Belgium in the 94thminute."Thanked their fans in the stadium, cleaned up everything (bench and dressing room) and spoke to media. Even left note with 'thank you' in Russian."What an example for all teams!Privilege to work with!"It wasn't just the players who kept things neat and tidy, though: the supporters also cleaned up in the stands– as is customary in Japanese culture–despite their crushing late loss.You really can't beat good manners.See also...17-year-old Manchester United target Erling Braut Haland scores four goals in 17 minutesIn Other News...
