🚨 Japan left their dressing room spotless after their match against the Netherlands. 👏
A tradition built on respect, discipline, and responsibility. ❤️🇯🇵
At MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN (MAJ), the sole Western guest, English singer-songwriter Sam Smith, said they liked BABYMETAL - a group that weren't nominated in any category - with the MC quickly changing the subject to Hikaru Utada. Later that day, BABYMETAL performed at Download Festival in the UK, with the group's producer, KOBAMETAL, posting a vid on his Instagram Story showing the massive crowd, saying "Sam, sorry we couldn't be there. We were in the UK.", tagging Sam Smith and MAJ.
🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimovic reacting to Netherlands 2-2 draw with Japan.
🗣️ Japan is never the team to underestimate in the world cup. I've seen them beat team like Spain in this competition. It was a great performance by Vigil Van Dijk, Summerville and Ryan Gravenberch.
Van Dijk scored and Nakamura got the equaliser after seven minutes. Summerville regained the lead for them. At that point we all thought they were getting the three points.
Ronald Koeman made five changes which I would say was tactically wrong. Japanese coach Hajime Moriyasu was smart enough to find out. They continued to knock until Netherlands open up for the equaliser.
It's crazy because after Kubo,Kamada and Nakamura you can hardly name the rest but they managed to get a pint from this star studded Netherland team.
Football is crazy and that's why it's the best sport in the world.

🗣️“I’m happy for what I saw today after the game, showing off Endo’s jersey at the end of the game was really something special and a tribute to the player wishing he was part of the squad to compete.
They wasn’t just celebrating a draw but an important player they wish to be part of the squad, Things like this are always emotional to experience and I will say that was the best thing that completed my day today.
⚽ Sport verbroedert!
