The team may have lost their opening World Cup match, but Japanese fans
won plaudits around the world after picking up the trash in their
stadium stand after the game.
Japan’s Tokyo Shimbun newspaper and Kyodo News agency said Japanese fans
have won praise from tournament hosts Brazil in local newspapers and on
social networks.
“Japanese are the most honourable people I have met, goes deep in to the culture from what I know.” @markogada tweeted.
- Not everyone on Twitter appreciated the litter collection, which stood in marked contrast to the behaviour usually associated with football fans.
- “Weirdos” sniped @JamieCarney.
- Civic duty and orderliness is taken very seriously in Japan, a country often praised for its manners.
