Japan

The smattering of Japanese fans who witnessed a huge victory for their nation earnt further credit by tidying up the away section before leaving Wembley and heading into London.

England's final friendly before Thomas Tuchel names his World Cup squad ended in disaster with a 1-0 home defeat by Japan.

IAN LADYMAN: Fast, devastatingly clinical and easy on the eye. This was a great night for Japanese football at Wembley. As for Thomas Tuchel's England, this was the 90 minutes from hell.

Japan’s goal wasn’t Palmer’s fault and Mainoo couldn’t track back, but Tuchel will now see the scale of what faces him To see a world in a grain of meaningless friendly. It has become a habit to say you don’t learn anything from these games. This isn’t strictly true. You just don’t learn anything new. But it’s all still there, ready to be decoded like a set of sporting tea leaves. On a strangely empty night at Wembley Stadium – also known as “a night at Wembley Stadium” – the opening half-hour of this 1-0 England defeat against Japan was fluffy, formless and free from any real edge. But that half-hour was also hugely telling, packed with echoes, ghosts and patterns. Another March friendly: another note in the never-ending story of England footballdom, an epic poem in 1,080 parts.
