I watched a documentary on the secretive North Koreans some time ago. The programme makers sent in some undercover reporters to film and record everything, and I can honsetly say it made rather dsisturbing viewing.
Such is their blind faith that that Baconface-type dictator Kim-Jong Ill (or whatever his name is) is the greatest man on earth, they believe every sort of propoganda bullshit they are spoonfed by him and his corrupt regime.
There was one scene where the reporters were invited into a classroom and the teacher (a young women in her early-twenties, maybe) told the reporters that school desks were invited by 'their glorious leader'. Apparently, before Kim-Jong cane along schoolkids all over the world had to sit on the floor with their pens and paper and work like that. The Great Dictator thought up the idea of using wooden desks for the kids and the idea was adapted all over the world. She told the reporters that we in the decadent west should offer up our deepest gratitude to Kim-Jong for his wonderful idea of school desks!

Bloody incredible.

I saw this too. Also spectaculars with 100,00 people for 5 tourists.

good luck to the lads,i would imagine south korea would be their destination.

and if that is where they want to go,will they be eligible to play for them in future?

I'm rather disappointed FIFA recognises South Korea at all. It is, after all, merely an illegally US-occupied enclave of the republic. Do they recognise Taiwan too I wonder? I'll check their website now.

Edit: It looks like they bloody do as well. Somewhere called Chinese Taipei sneaking at at #167 in the world rankings, just above Kyrgystan. Honestly - if I just declare myself a country will they let me enter next time?

I say go for it and just pray you get drawn in England's group, guaranteed at least a point there

And here's me moaning about Capello and his tripe....Lets hope this thread helps us to truly evaluate what is important in life....PS it's not the world cup.

My heart goes out to North Korea.

It's a bit like The Matrix. Do you want to see the truth or do you stay within the confines of familiarity and mild happiness?
