North Korea

Crushed

dprkflag

Well, that was bad. North Korea abandoned their defensive ideology and were thrashed like silly school boys. Had they played for a draw, the Portuguese floodgates may have been kept shut, and maybe Ronaldo and his pals would have surrendered to an English style manque. Then again, maybe not.

We can only imagine how the PRK might have fared in a weaker group. It was a treat to follow them through the qualifying to the Finals. Now they play for pride and the role of spoiler in the final game of the Group of Death. It may be another forty-four years before the Communist star of the PRK flies at the World Cup – or maybe North Korea will be retired to the museum by then.

"Footballer asked to give up honeymoon for new club." Admit it - first thoughts center around the wife and a reaction worthy of any reality shows in which a new bride or bride-to-be seem like a good candidate for a rubber room and a key which gets mysteriously lost for...ever. Tim Ream ...

That's Jose after last night's Clasico, hanging out in the Camp Nou parking lot next to the referee's car. He's not waiting to tell him how much he enjoyed his performance or beg him for the maker of his cologne, I can tell you that much. Google Translate can do ...

Cristiano Throws A Clasico-Sized Fit

A Clasico which lived up to its name? But of course. And Cristiano was seen off the ball throwing what should now be one of his toddler tantrums? But of course. It's not one of his finest, in fact it'd have a hard time cracking his top five, but it's nice to ...

Spicing Up The Official Club Page

When you're a Brazilian club of the third division and you're starved for hits on your website, there are only two possible options: i. Hire a spammer. ii. Porn. Brasiliense has opted for choice number two, decking out their club website with adult-oriented imagery of females in various states of undress. And ...
