World Cup 2018: 3 things we should learn from Japan and its fans

#1 Sportsmanship

A big salute to these warriors!

A man should not be judged by how he is during his good times, but by how he faces the bad tides. And if Japan were to be deduced by that, they deserve to be treated with the utmost respect.

When Nacer Chadli sealed a stunning comeback win for Belgium with what was literally the last kick of the game, the whole nation of Japan was in heartbreak. But they held back their disappointment, congratulated their opponents, thanked the fans for the support and left the pitch with empty hands and a billion hearts.

Many of us find it difficult to even eat when we are facing tough times, but the Japan faithful cleaned up the stadium despite witnessing their team fall down in the final minute of the match.

Back in the dressing room, the Samurai Blues did the same. A tidy, neat room and a thank you note in Russian were what the officials found when they went to check the dressing room which was occupied by the Japan team. A truly heart melting site.

And don't forget all those small but beautiful things they did like singing Anime songs with the Senegal fans.
