The other day Japan played Belgium in the world cup football match in Russia. They lost. After the match they left their dressing room spotless with a "thank you Russia" note. Real respect shown by this Japanese team on behalf of Japan.
Before we walked in, before we arrived,
The place had been tidy and neat,
Everything was washed and polished and fresh,
In this beautifully odorous suite,
We felt at home, relaxed, out of sight,
To use everything that was there,
The showers and towels, benches and sinks,
And a place to hang up what we wear,
Then the game was spectacular, furious and fast,
We gave all that we could have been,
And by the end, we felt prouder than proud,
Proud though we failed to win,
So we returned to our room, refreshing ourselves,
Then cleaned for our dignified host,
We polished it spotless, with a beautiful scent,
And left them a “Thanks Russia” note.
