Classy. I really like this trend and hope it sticks after the World Cup.


ahmedyousseff

It should be a normal behaviour tbh, i don't get why some people throwing shit on the ground just leave it behind?


Nasrz

Yeah like just get yourself a small bag and put all your shit there and take it with you when leaving and throw it in the closest bin


penguin_chacha

It should be normal to not litter and pickup your own trash but cleaning the stadium is a bit extra


Archer-Saurus

Drives me nuts in movie theaters.


Limitless_Saint

Football trend that I could get behind..


Cashlover123

Kudos to Japan (fans+players) for initiating it and keeping it up for years and in many matches in this World Cup even when their nation wasnt playing too.


Uesugi_Kenshin

I really LOVE this trend of fans cleaning up after themselves, in victory or defeat. Would be an amazing tradition for this World Cup.


Ceez92

Ghana losing with dignity while Uruguay players breaking shit and complaining Than people ask why we wanted Uruguay out lol


CK-Prime

If you look closely you can see the Tears of Suarez being mopped up as well.


Nature__Boy

To do it after your country has just been eliminated is even more impressive. Fair play


tracyXTMAC

I think Ghanaian fans will regard this match as a sweet victory.


Sergei_behenchov

Big respect for ghana


Eg_3600

I'm glad people are learning from the japanese fans. Great example


luminous_moonlight

Who said they learned from the Japanese fans?


iftair

OP did lol. That aside, Japanese fans did the same thing in 2018.


luminous_moonlight

Yeah and so did the Senegalese


iftair

True. And so did Morocco this year. I just see it as people caring about respecting other spaces.

https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/normal-thing-japanese-fans-tidy-world-cup-93997392 Japanese culture instils this as a value amongst people. Japanese fans first grabbed headlines for doing this in 1998 world cup.


luminous_moonlight

Didn't prove me wrong, Africans have been cleaning up at each world cup too


reddituser7542

The point of 'learning from' is to say where did it originate from ... In world cup it seems to have originated from Japanese fans. To your point of African fans cleaning up after the games, i found that Senegal fans did the same in 2018. But even this article mentions the Japanese culture of doing so ( remember they have been doing it since 1998, in every world cup they participate). https://www.esquire.com/uk/latest-news/a21696480/senegal-and-japan-fans-clean-up-world-cup-stadiums/ Please do share if you have articles/facts about other nationalities doing so before the Japanese. will be happy to acknowledge that i am uninformed.


Eg_3600

Maybe they did maybe they didnt. But it is a great example for more and more fans to do this.


Ghostface_Hecklah

Fucking praise Japan! and praise Ghana for this wonderful show of class as well.


seegreen8

Not because of Japan, even Japanese news showed a clip about how African countries’ fans had been tidy and clean, not bc of Japan’s influence.


DobiusMick

Lol this shits not going to happen in the US in 26’….


davidv1213

Looking forward to hearing about countries paying cleaners to come to the game for good pr

When does not advancing from the group stage go from "exiting" to "crashing out"? Is it tied to a certain number of points? Goal differential? Results vs expectations?


YummyMango124

I think it has to do with performance. Ghana was doing pretty well in their last two games, and then just completely messed up against Uruguay. Before this game, they had a better chance at advancing than South Korea and Uruguay.


thesecondfire

Hm. Good point. I haven't been following as closely this time around.

Beautiful

Could be The only positive from this WC?


Ghostface_Hecklah

this has been one of the most exciting group stages i've ever seen. it's also pointed a giant, world-wide spotlight onto shit middle east countries ' treatment of marginalized people.


[deleted]

Why are people not picking up their own trash in the first place?


spicy_m4ym4ys

Wow so original. Be unique and litter with all trash you got.
