Qualified as: Asia Group B runner-up

Second World Cup appearance (last in 1966)

Player to watch: Ahn Young-Hak

Odds to win: 500 to 1

I thought this was noteworthy. A country that most consider evil will be in the World Cup. The last time they were in the cup was 1966, so it has been quite a long time since they have made it. Hopefully, USA will have a chance to beat that ass – even though it will be very unlikely that they play. With the secrecy, the nuclear weapons and crazy dictator there is not a lot to like about North Korea. I have always loved the fact that sports transcends political boundaries. So I am glad to see them in the Cup. I remember reading a quote at one point by the Greeks that basically said that the spirit of competition is the most powerful element in the human spirit. Btw… USA had 80 to 1 odds and this fell in around the middle of the pack of the 32 teams. GO USA!
