Fans of the Lions of Teranga were also seen partying wildly in the terraces after their team sprung a surprise on the Poles and ran out 2-1 winners. After the soccer teams' jobs were done in Saransk's Mordovia Arena, Japanese fans got to work cleaning up the stadium, reaching down under chairs and on the ground to pick up litter others had left behind. The lessons in life we can take from the game.

Japan beat 10-man Colombia 2-1 in their opening Group H match on Tuesday, the first time an Asian team has overcome a South American one at the World Cup.

A video showed fans removing rubbish from the Otkrytiye Arena, in Moscow, after they'd gone insane following their win (which we can't blame them for).

"Senegal achieved a historic triumph", Argentinian media outlet TyC Sports tweeted.

He said: "You often hear people say that football is a reflection of culture". "An important aspect of Japanese society is making sure that everything is absolutely clean and that's the case in all sporting events and certainly also in football".

The gesture wasn't just extended to fans in wheelchairs, either - according to GNN's Russian correspondent, Timofey Yakovets, the sombreros were basically just being given to any person who shared their love for the World Cup.

Cisse captained Senegal - who qualified from Bafana Bafana's group for this year's showpiece - to their first ever win in World Cup history when a talented 2002 generation upset France in the opener of that year's tournament. Winning first match of course means you start at the right pace.

Japan and Senegal will be facing off on June 24.

"Nigeria had one of the best African squads ever at the 1994 World Cup".
