And once again a message of gratitude was left, just as Japan did following their historic win over Germany.

The words ‘thank you’ were written in Arabic and Japanese as the team played their final match in Qatar.

The team did likewise after losing to Belgium in similarly heartbreaking circumstances at the 2018 World Cup.

Japan repeated the act following their Asian Cup defeat to Qatar in 2019, while their fans do likewise.

At the end of the World Cup’s opening game between Qatar and Ecuador Japanese fans decided to clear the stands of rubbish.

Japan provided excellent entertainment throughout and produced memorable victories against Germany and Spain, beating the 2014 champions to qualification to the knock-out stage.

Japan were also a penalty shoot-out away from reaching the quarter-finals for the first time ever.
