This is what the tweet said:

"This is the Japanese dressingroom after losing to Belgium in the 94’ minute. Thanked their fans in the stadium, cleaned up everything (bench and dressingroom) and spoke to media. Even left note with ‘thank you’ in Russian. What an example for all teams!! Privilege to work with!"

Left the room spotless with a thank you note, very classy Japan.

Japan learned that they are capable of competing with the top teams.

Belgium learned that no games should be taken for granted.

We are lucky to witness the story. I love the world cup.
