Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu said Friday he was proud that the country\u2019s fans had forged a worldwide repute for tidying up after themselves on the World Cup\u2013so long as it doesn’t put cleaners out of labor.<\/p>\n

Footage went viral online after Japan supporters were seen putting their rubbish in blue plastic bags following Sunday\u2019s 2-2 draw with the Netherlands in Texas.<\/p>\n

Fans told AFP it was \u201cJapanese culture\u201d to go away any public place cleaner than after they arrived.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the eve of Japan\u2019s second group game, against Tunisia on Saturday in Mexico, Moriyasu said: \u201cI feel that is one a part of the Japanese culture that we could be happy with on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

It extends to his squad, who left the changing room on the Dallas Cowboys\u2019 stadium immaculate after the sport.<\/p>\n

But Moriyasu said there was a possible downside.<\/p>\n

\u201cI even have met Brazilian players, Brazilian coaches and folks from different countries after which they’d all indicate something different,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, by picking up people\u2019s garbage it will be clean, but wouldn\u2019t you be taking away the work from the cleaners?<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I suppose that’s a method of taking a look at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

And while images of Japan fans cleansing up gained widespread praise abroad, back in Japan a social media post went viral complaining men rarely do the identical at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cJapanese men spend among the many least time on house responsibilities internationally,\u201d read the post.<\/p>\n
