(World Cup) N. Korea crushed 7-0 by Portugal in World Cup group match
By Tony Chang
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, June 21 (Yonhap) -- North Korea crashed out of competition in the World Cup finals after being trounced 7-0 by Portugal in their second Group G match on Monday.
The setback pushed North Korea to the bottom of Group G which also includes Brazil and Ivory Coast. The North Koreans earlier had lost to Brazil 1-2, while Portugal had fought a scoreless draw with Ivory Coast.
North Korea now are scheduled to play Ivory Coast in their final group-stage match but its result wouldn't affect the North's elimination from the tournament.

On the plus side not very many people had TVs to watch it. They sure wouldn’t want the common person to see people eating real food.
We’re also assuming they didn’t have some kind of tape delay.
I wonder if these soccer players will survive upon returning home.
P!
These Nokor players better make up a plan to defect soon (Cuban player style ). Suffering such a humiliating defeat will incur the wrath of the increasingly mentally unstable Dear Leader.
I’m a guessing that a whole lotta NK soccer players will mysteriously disappear after returning home. Too bad.
They’d better defect now while they still alive...............
If Chia Head had been using Verizon, he wouldn’t have had so many crucial drop-outs to his coach’s invisible cell phone.
Was Homer in goal?
Good thing Dear Reader wasn’t on the field playing, or it would have been a triple browout the other way!
Off to the uranium mines...
I guess the “fake” North Korean fans didn’t yell loud enough.
The team and their families will all be imprisoned or killed. I have a Chinese friend who waxed on about the “spirited North Koreans” after they played well against whoever it was last week. I said, “yeah, I’d be spirited too, if my life depended on the outcome!”
Your right...Who knows that if they go back home and suffer an “unfortunate” accident, it might take a soccer incident to drive the world to take action against North Korea...The world could care less about any conflicts between North Korea and the US/South Korea, but you get in the way of soccer, you will see nukes being set off by British/French bombers over Pyong-Yang.
They’ll just edit out all of the goals, and pretend the match ended 0-0.
Hard to play soccer when your eating the grass.
Pray for America
Yes - nail hit on head!!!
Watched the game and enjoyed it so very much — especially the final score.
Ya think Chia Pet will now try to model his “looks” after Cristiano Ronaldo?
