Tuesday’s Hot Clicks: Japan Cleans Dressing Room, Leaves Thank You Note After Crushing Loss

The Japanese national team showed outstanding sportsmanship after losing an absolute heartbreaker to Belgium in the World Cup round of 16 yesterday.

Japan took a 2–0 lead early in the first have after a pair of goals four minutes apart, only to see Belgium quickly even things up with two goals of its own just five minutes apart. The game seemed destined for extra time with the score still tied and stoppage time running out, but the Belgians scored a beautiful team goal on a counter attack to rip the hearts out of the Japanese.

Most people would want to get the hell out of the stadium as quickly as possible after a loss like that, but not the Japanese.
