WTF wow

The risk you run with their style of play, sometimes your body just can't defend and close down like that for 90 minutes.

looks like open season for Brazil now

Epic pass though.

Sigh, here we go with the slaughter now.

Dead leg, bad sign. The way they've been running I wouldn't be surprised if they started falling apart out of pure exhaustion soon.

He wouldn't have hit it hard with the top of his foot like that if it was a cross

Brilliant finish by Maicon. Sadly, this could easily go to 5~6-0 now

Damn. Oh well, fun while it lasted.

Shit, this freekick is going to go in

I seriously don't know how you can criticize a team like North Korea for playing defensively against Brazil Might as well be angry at Burton Albion for not being adventurous enough at Old Trafford

This is a brilliant story really, hope they don't fall apart around the 70th minute and concede 5.

One thing's for sure, they're better than Greece

Jesus Christ, the People's Rooney ripping Lucio a new one. I've got a bad feeling I'm going to be even more pissed off that he didn't choose South Korea after this tournament is done.

tbh North Korea lasting 45 minutes against Brazil would be more entertaining than Brazil putting in 5 in the first half

Go get that bandaged man, being a tough guy is fine but don't be stupid about it.

I hope they get a kicking, simply due to their defensive tactics. Fucking hell man, North Korea are at the level where they have to play defensive against well... South Korea. You expect them to play open, attacking football against Brazil?

Wow, they're actually looking quite good at the moment. They didn't have that kind of energy on the counter-attack during the qualifiers.

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
