FIFA World Cup Round 1: Brazil vs North Korea

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Would this be the biggest upset in the history of the World Cup?

People's Republic of Korea

Do you think if north korea score a goal they will publicize it on the tv over there as a 1-0 win? Even if it is a 10-1 defeat? I do

I'm not watching the game but I am listening to a translation from Korean radio.

I can't believe that North Korea are 3-0 up within 15 minutes! Especially when they are playing a team of giants who are at least 7 feet. Also, can you believe that a North Korean player was struck by lightning and then Kim Jon Il came into the stadium on white horse and is playing the rest of the match himself!?

Awesome!

 

[Барбоса]

The Koreans don't look like too much of a push over so far. Good set up at the back, plenty of pressure on the ball and a decent outlet for the pressure in Pak and Jong up front. Doesn't look like being too easy for the Brazilians, although one goal and it could quickly become a massacre

 

[Барбоса]

I wonder why the scoreboard says PRK..

P republic Korea?

Yeah, People's Republic of Korea

 

[DirtyJosé]

So much for that Vuvuzela filter, ESPN/ABC.

My girlfriend just said, speaking of the Vuvu's: "Those things could cut diamonds".

Priceless.

 

[Ferbian]

Yeah, People's Republic of Korea

Thank you

Brazil seems to be dominating the attack quite obviously.

North korea are an interesting team. Brazil seem to want to just shoot everytime they get within range.

Funny aside from the fact that the guy was probably shitting himself with fear as the lunatic Zaire dictator at the time had threatened the entire team should they lose by 4 goals or more... They were losing 3-0 at the time of that free kick

I would mark out for North Korea doing that.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

I believe that Zaire is now Zambia. No? PRK are holding their own.

 

[Ferbian]

And that shot, will be the one and only chance North Korea gets in this game

 

[Барбоса]

Zaire is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo

And yes, it is neither democratic nor a republic but it does include the river Congo within its border

 

[DirtyJosé]

Seriously, North Korea is doing much better than expected here. Seems like Brazil's gone for an aggro push, but it isn't working yet. Stats on possession?

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Sounds Nice. North Korea have a corner...

 

[Барбоса]

I wonder if the North Korean striker Jong Tae Se fancies a game in the Premiership next season as I would gladly have him in the Liverpool squad

 

[Ferbian]

What team does he play for Barbarosa?

 

[Барбоса]

What team does he play for Barbarosa?

Plays somewhere in Japan I think they said. Wouldn't break the bank I think to get him

 

[DirtyJosé]

What a great header save by PRK.

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Only one of them plays in Europe. I believe it's the Captain who plays in Russia.

 

[Ferbian]

True Barbarosa, I don't see him breaking the bank to get him.

What was that? Korea actually had a chance to get in there and make a shot at the goal, ended up on the midfield again..

 

[DirtyJosé]

Now if only someone can teach them to make good shots...

 

[Ferbian]

Exactly.

It really looks like Japan is playing a 7-2-1 setup

 

[Барбоса]

Only three of the squad plays outside North Korea I think
