Maybe that locker room from team Japan is actually indicative how westerners(I'd should really say Americans because it's where I'm from & where I've spent the vast majority of my time) have a more entitled attitude. American teams, in general, would never think... "you know leaving all this gear, dirty towels / laundry and general trash spread across every square inch of the locker room is going to make whoever's job it is to clean this place a real PITA.

[@maxstromberg7666]

Not unique to the West though. I’ve seen no indication that China, Bangladesh, Brazil or South Africa leave their locker rooms in any better shape than the US does. But yes, Japan has been very respectful.

[@travelorchidslondon]

Not only do they clean the cabin themselves, but often also leave a small tip for the cleaning staff.

Has everyone forgotten about the japanese fans tidying up their areas after the games during tournaments in the past? Why would the players be of a different inclination for a nice space?

As a German I have to admit two things. First: the Japanese team was awesoe and the deserved every point the got and will get. They were polite and a prime example of how football should work. Second: Our national team is a bunch of unfit overpaid youngsters. In my opinion they have not nearly as much talent and skill as players like Bastian Schweinsteiger, Müller and other. It is a shame those aren't active players anymore.
