Been executing their gameplan to perfection so far, swarming the shit out of Brazil and restricting them to long shots

Aye i'd be up for that. Shame the powers that be won't be. Probably wouldn't cost overly much either. N.Korea are ranked 105 at the moment and apparently teams have to be within the top 70 to qualify for a work permit for any potential players. Who knows, maybe the Norks will have a stormer and his country will shoot up the rankings . Btw, he plays in the J-league and is a pretty important player for them. In recent years the J-league has sold some pretty good players to Europe like Hulk being the obvious one. He wasn`t exactly that cheap at 6m euros. btw according to this he underwent a trial with one of the Prem league clubs...don`t know which one http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/may/30/jong-tae-se-north-korea-wayne-rooney Blackburn. Big Sam apparently has some scouts in this area because they've offered lots of trials to Asian players. He also tried to sign a (shit) Korean striker while he was here.

I've got a bad feeling that the nK keeper is going to have a shocker today. He's always been very nervy and just the way he flaped at that Elano strike, makes me nervous.

You know what? I hate that country, it's government, and everything they represent... But I would still like my brothers to win today.

Jong Tae-se crying to the nK national anthem. Man, this guy just gets more and more likable.

Everything is either blocked or overhit. Story of this tournament.

Very much looking forward to "The People's Rooney" making his debut tonight. I honestly have never seen a more instinctive goalscorer come out of Asia and hopefully he'll find some room to impress while his team gets slaughtered. You know what, if there was any hope of him getting a work permit, I'd say we should sign him

Moving to the left side of the midfield with Di Maria losing his place in the side for the Korea match apparently. Burdisso shoehorned into right-back. Come on Diego, why can't you make ridiculous tactical choices against us too.

Apparently nK have been hijacking our feed to show the matches so far (just cropping the screen so our broadcaster's logo won't show ) You really don't need to worry about broadcasting rights when you're a rogue state to begin with

Ah well, Italy/Paraguay is certainly not worth a night's sleep. Off to bed. Van Persie and co. Better have their shooting boots on for the weekend, that's all I'm saying.

What I've learned today is that if Korea losing is a 10 on the sadness scale, Japan getting a win at the World Cup is a very solid 4.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGH

Come on Cameroon, four minutes to restore order to the universe

Excellent. I was looking forward to some crying Japanese but not in this way

Le Guen quite visibly panicking

OFF THE FUCKING POST :frantic::frantic::frantic::frantic::frantic::frantic:

Japan five minutes away from their first away win ever. Argh.

I swear if I see one more overhit ball

GEZZA FREEKICK! GOGOGO

Geremi, now there's an impact sub.

Why was Emana not on from the beginning + It probably doesn't matter because he's playing like he's never seen these people on his team before.

The African teams are just terrible this year aren't they.

Well, at least the Japanese goalkeeper had the common decency to punch Tulio in the face

Fucking useless Choupo-Moting

Who is this Choupo-Moting person and what is his excuse for being useless
