Would be a huge underdog story. Regardless of North Korea being a bit of a horrible country. The obstacles those players have to overcome, most of them not being allowed to compete in the good leagues, even if they could, would just make a rather nice story. Beating the perhaps best team in the world, would be epic...I am hoping for that, too, although I don't think it could happen.
I think Dunga has spoilt Brazils magic way of playing with his disipline, not to mention leavin Pato and Ronaldinho out. Apart from that I think they are overrated and won enough titles.
N.Korea might have a nasty leadership but the people canīt do anything about that (or get shot), what I like about them is they play as a team and keep on running, not to mention I love the underdog.
New Zealand scored their first world cup goal, congratulations !! slovakia 1:1 New Zealand.
Looking forward to seeing Chille tomorow they are supposed to be a very offensive team from what Ive heard, make a change from the safety based team play so far in many games.

Question:
Are Vinny Jones or David Beckham playing for the UK? Haven't seen much of them. Actually, those are the only two soccer players I know...so I'm curious...are they playing?
Gender: Male Location: Northumberland,
United Kingdom
Beckham is injured so he is not in the squad (he is staying with the side for support though). Vinny Jones has been retired from proper football for over a decade... So he isn't in the squad.
There is also not a UK team (unless you count the Olympics GB team). The UK is split into England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland for football. (Beckham is English and Jones played for Wales).

Brazil looked like they were playing in 2nd gear, didnīt like the cold eh.
Chille, wow!! I like the way they play, a mixture of the Koreaīs running and a bit of Spainīs technical game. I recon they will do well.
Watching the Spain v Swiss game, borrrriinnngg. but 80% to 20% possesion tells the story. Ottmar Hitzfeld is the Switzerland coach, so strategic class is to be expected.
