“Hats off to the Romanians from “Rapid” in Bucharest. Not only did they enthusiastically sing and wave flags, but they also left a perfect cleanup after the game.

Since 2014, since the opening of the arena, I have attended many matches of the national team, club teams, many in the Champions League. 300 fanatical fans from Bucharest were the loudest!

My sympathy for them grew even more when I saw them picking up the wreckage. It seems that the example of the Japanese at the World Cup is contagious.” – wrote those from Gyor+.
