That has happened in other countries. Imagine if the Norks had a team that lost like that. They would all be dead by the next morning.
Yes. The Iraqi national team was run by Uday "Chuckles" Hussein, who, at various times, flogged, bastinadoed, and beat team members whose performance was not up to expectations, shaved their heads, forced them to kick concrete soccer balls, and dragged them through gravel quarries. I believe there was a Youtube video of Uday personally beating the soles of one player's feet with a cane. I've had tough bosses before but that?...
