Women's U20 World Cup Quarterfinals....'Murica v Kim Jong-un's girls

So is there like a gag order on DPRK teams that travel to developed countries? All the players on this team have experienced Canada now. Doesn't quite match the (alleged) propaganda line that the rest of the world is a miserable hellhole and they live in the only paradise on Earth.

I vaguely remember a write-up about a journalist's interaction with the full men's team in 2010. If I'm not making shite up, they certainly weren't walking around South Africa. I would imagine that they'd have even more control over this team. The 2010 men's team had Zainichi (and at least one player from North Korea) on it who played abroad.

This isn't anything new, though. I would imagine that it's easier to shut the frick up about it when you're comparatively well off.

1-1 w/~20 mins left in regulation.

This North Korea side won the U17 WC 2 years ago. It's basically the same team.

That's good to know because we're tanking this PK period.

That was disappointing. Dominated play early, took a 1-0 lead after 6 minutes, then did little the rest of the way.
