Bahrain has very bad manners.
They booed during the Japanese national anthem. They attacked with laser pointers.
I was disappointed in Bahrain. Shame on Bahrain!!

[hsao]

Japan is already a world-class team, the undoubted light of Asia. Congratulations to the Japanese team and congratulations from Taiwan.🎉

They watch for free, shine laser beams on Japanese players, and when their country loses, they go home and stop cheering. There is no way such a country can participate in the World Cup. The Bahraini spectators should be ashamed.

Honestly, I did not know much about Bahrain. But now I know the Bahrain that boo the anthem of other countries and hit with a laser in the eyes of a player.
The latter may be a solo crime, but the former completely reflects the quality of the nation.

You know Japan is a humble country, they dont wanted to embarrass the host, but you leave them no other choice. You people was playing dirty, 0-5 totally deserved

[shin-kwnh]

Fans represent the quality of a country.
Boos during the national anthem, laser attacks on Japanese player...
Very disappointed in Bahrain.

This Japanese team gives me joy anytime I'm watching them

[ywutsmt]

Ayase Ueda, who scored a goal despite being hit by a laser in the eye, is truly amazing.

[yuniantoanto]

What a cold bloody killer, what a team. Good job, Japan. You really deserve to be in 2026 World Cup🎉

[ntrbsp]

Booing the nation, laser interference, supporters leaving quickly when their team is losing... The results of the games are a direct reflection of the quality of the people.

[azahariabdullah]

Japan is on another level..much love from Malaysia ❤❤

[jwmwdjpgm]

Two of Japan's CBs are Bayern's Ito and Arsenal's Tomiyasu, who are out injured.I don't even want to imagine Japan with them all together.

[fakeis]

Makes you wonder the level of civility of a country with this kind of supporters. Reflects Japan's well, and so it does for Bahrain too.

[Anonymous-eu]

The Bahrainis used dirty tricks but still got crushed by Japan😂

[InitialDi]

Amazing country, amazing national team, 12 goals in 2 match.
Congratulation from Indonesian. Big hope indonesian and japan qualify world cup 2026

[きのこ-wp]

Bahrain is already weak, but if their supporters do something like that, they will never become stronger. Let's have more respect for others.
