North Korea fans

North Korea are mentally prepared for the almighty clash on Tuesday, facing the formidable task of taking on a hardened and hungry Brazil. Inevitably, the odds are long that the PRK can pull off a stunning upset but more importantly, the team has to keep its shape and prevent Brazil from running riot. The possibility of a lightning strike by national hero, Jong Tae-sae, cannot be ruled out but weathering the Amazonian storm will require a bunker style mentality in the defense. North Korea’s better chance lies in the next two games in the group of death, and there is confidence the round of sixteen can be reached.

Unlike the wealthy nations staying in their five star resorts, due to a lack of money North Korea have been forced to send their players to a public gym for strength training. The players mingled with South African musclemen, smiling graciously, as they pumped iron with their legs.

So, fans of the North, let’s rally on Tuesday and hope for a steely performance. I will be traveling overseas on that day but will post a game review early Wednesday – please stay tuned and send in your comments on the team’s performance and how we can get out of the group – alive.
