Always my second team

The cleaning is part of their culture of respect. They learn at a very young age by cleaning their own school during break time. I was surprised by it when I first worked there but if you know you are tidying it up later, it also urges you to keep it clean in the first place - I'd love it to be introduced here but someone would complain it was slave labour or whatever...I love the fact that my kids grew up in Japan and learned things like this.

I hoped this could have been their real chance yesterday but ultimately I feel their keeper was just too weak - that first goal back for Belgium was always going to be crucial and it was self inflicted, albeit very lucky.

お疲れ、ニッポン、今度こそ頑張ろう！
