    Utter nonsense.

    You know I really wish people would leave the politics out of it. Yes North Korea is a theocratic dictatorship that brainwashes its people but this is football and these guys playing for their country, regardless of their political ideology, are doing their best and judging them by their performance against Brazil they're one of the most hard working and honest teams I've seen in a long time.

    And just to add, they do brainwash their people but its a very specific field. They don't hide sports results or current world affairs from their people.

    Great highlights. Maicon was crazy to try a shot from that angle (especially against the worlds best defence).

    And thats fine but how about a bit of respect for these players ? So what the countries leaders a raving lunatic. Is that an excuse to take the piss out of the whole country every single time you mention them ?

    The thread about Korea vs Brazil posted a picture of Kim Jung-Il from Team America instead of a picture of some very hard working athletes who gave everything to get to this world cup and who deserve more respect then the snide childish rubbish the worlds throwing at them.

    Just look at the video above where these lads have to train in a public gym and they still hold their heads high.

    The way these lads played Brazil and the passion they showed have shamed most other teams in this competition so far.

    I hope your enjoying your stay at the peak of moral highground, no one is disrespecting the players . Its a funny video thats not meant to be taken too seriously although that seems to be lost on you and a few others.

    You can't have a sense of humour anymore. It might offend some people.
