The same blue bags they waved frantically when Daichi Kamada headed in the 2-2 in the 88th minute were used, seconds after the final whistle, to pick up trash from the stands at AT&T Stadium. 🧹✨
It is not the first time. Since France 1998, every four years, the Blue Samurai fans have repeated the ritual without anyone asking them to. They did it in Qatar 2022, they did it in Dallas 2025. This time, after the draw against the Netherlands in Group F, the stadium workers — home of the NFL’s Cowboys, used to leaving the place spotless after every event — found themselves with little or nothing to do. 😮
A tradition born in the stands that now travels with them as part of their luggage. The match result does not matter: if Japan played, the stadium is left clean. 🇯🇵💙
