Nippon, rah-rah-rah!

10 Japanese soccer fans got into a fight with each other following screening of the World Cup match with Australia.
The fight broke out when some fans accused other of smiling following Japan’s 3-1 loss to the Aussies.
Fighting among themselves? No, that’s not the way it’s meant to go at all.
In the bar I was watching it in last night, quite a lot of the (Japanese) people were smiling afterwards. I was actually very impressed with the stoic way they took defeat, having had such high hopes crushed. Proper order!

The Japanese team really lost their composure and fell apart after the Aussies scored their first ever World Cup goal in the last 4 minutes of the game! 
Beating up the people smiling is proper football etiquette 
Good Job!
