North Korea Advances To The Group Stage Of The World Cup

[Deleted]

Facts be damned.



While most of us have been enjoying a phenomenal World Cup that will end on Sunday with Germany going up against Argentina in the final, it seems North Korea is enjoying its own version of the tournament.



In the East Asian nation's alternate reality, North Korea - who actually failed to quality - advanced past the group stage without conceding a single goal. They hammered rivals Japan and the United States 7-0 and 4-0, respectively, but took it a little easier on China, with whom they share close diplomatic relations.



Also, who knew that Kim Jong-un was so popular in Rio de Janeiro?

I wonder how many World Cups they think they've won?

North Korea have won all the World Cups

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

Bah, I challenge the information put forth by this writer because he mixed up the word "qualify" with "quality." This proves it is nothing more than a smear campaign put forth by the capitalist bourgeois to assassinate the character of our benevolent leader.

I mean, I don't know for sure that they didn't. What if their media is telling the truth and our media is lying. I mean, I'm expected to live in a world where people actually think that Paul Heyman's client, Brock Lensar, conquered the Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania. The Undertaker is a MMA fighting magic using Zombie and Brock Lesnar is a guy who once had to suffer a feud with Bob Holly and later let a little stomach ache end his MMA career. There's no way he won.

So maybe North Korea is doing great in the World Cup.

Still think it's amazing how they got to the quarters in 1966 in England and then didn't qualify again until 2010. But then Turkey have only been in 2 world cups and got to the semis in one of them. World Cup's can be strange. Congratulations to North Korea as well obviously, they are the kings of kings, destroyer of destroyers, handsome sexy and incredibly intelligent.

2-0 versus China.

They have ONE kind-of-sort-of friend in the entire world, and won't even give them a little ground.

That's nothing, according to their government spokesperson North Korea has also won The Super Bowl, The NBA finals, The World Series, The Stanley Cup, all the gold medals at both the summer and winter Olympiads and all three stages of the Triple Crown with their horse (Kim Jong Un: The Handsomest Stallion Walking The Face of The Earth.)

That video had a "Kurt Angle interviews The Rock" vibe of awesomeness to it.

[Fundertaker]

BTW, they face Portugal next. Bet they'll win 5-3 with 5 goals by Heu-See Byo

I love how they are doing this at the end of the World Cup.

Commie countries are so out there. They got a 150-story building (which they still haven't completed) but only 5% of the population have electricity.

Impressive, but nowhere near as impressive as the previous Great Leader's golf outing of 37 below par, where he managed 3 hole in ones. What's more amazing was it was his first time ever playing golf.


EDIT: Wow I butchered that. It was 38 under par with ELEVEN holes in one. Holy f***, what a legend!

This would be hilarious, if it wasn't a real country doing this.

All joke's aside, it's f***ing terrifying that that place exists and operates as it does.

[Fundertaker]

Not really related but I have to share this:

This is Cobra Commander levels of insanity

[Gravedigger's Biscuits]

Pretty sure this is fake. Funny though.

They've also apparently reported that they crushed Brazil in an impromptu exibition match as well.*

*Note: Given the performance of Brazil, this may have actually happened.

It came from their official news channel.

Do you REALLY not believe the odd things that come out of this nation?? The country claims their leader was born under two rainbows, and that he shot 7 hole in ones in one round. I am not even kidding

The North Korean women's football team walked off the pitch at their Olympic match in Glasgow after their images were shown on a screen beside a South Korean flag.

Kick-off was scheduled for 19:45 BST but the game started over an hour late.

North Korea beat Colombia 2-0 in the second of the Olympic matches held at Hampden Park on Wednesday.

Games organisers in London have apologised to North Korean officials for the mistake.

The error occurred when a video package was being shown ahead of kick-off, with the North Koreans noticing that their faces were being pictured alongside the South Korean flag.

We have made a full apology to the team and the North Korean NOC. A genuine mistake was made for which we apologise”

The BBC's sports editor David Bond said it was an "embarrassing mistake" and not the start Games organisers would have wanted on the first day of sporting action, but "no great harm was done".

Relations between the two Koreas are tense - they remain technically at war following the 1950-53 Korean conflict, which ended in an armistice.

Speaking after the match, North Korea's coach Sin Ui Gun said: "Our team was not going to participate unless the problem was solved properly.

"Unfortunately it took some time later for the broadcast to be done again properly and we made the decision to go on with the match."

He added: "Our players cannot be shown especially with other flags, especially the South Korean one.

"If this matter had not been solved, continuing would have been a nonsense."

A statement released by London 2012 organisers said: "Today ahead of the women's football match at Hampden Park, the South Korean flag was shown on a big screen video package instead of the North Korean flag.

"Clearly that is a mistake, we will apologise to the team and the National Olympic Committee and steps will be taken to ensure this does not happen again."

It was not immediately clear who had produced the video shown in the stadium.

"We have made a full apology to the team and the North Korean NOC. A genuine mistake was made for which we apologise."
