Whether simply cleanly or borderline-obsessive, hundreds of Japanese fans stayed behind their side’s 2-1 defeat to the Ivory Coast on Saturday night to help tidy up their sections of the Permanbuco Stadium in Recife.
According to Brazilian news reports, droves of Japan fans walked up and down the stadium rows and concourse in order to pick up rubbish and detritus left underneath seats during the course of the game.
Completely unnecessary, but still – how thoroughly nice of them!
