Yes that's right. After drawing 0-0 in Saudi Arabia last night, the North have qualified for the World Cup in South Africa next year.
I would LOVE for them to get drawn against the USA.
Well done North Korea (soccer team!) |

To the team? Absolutely. They have qualified from a group ahead of Saudi Arabia and Iran, teams that are both considerably higher in the fifa rankings than DPRK. |

Yep, they looked pretty happy. The womens team by contrast are just plain stroppy (as well as real plain janes-or Ji Yongs or whatever)
You have to wonder what is at stake for them by qualifying-not just materially in terms of housing, a new TV, room salon time, whatever, but of how they will be propelled into the North Korean limelight.
Just as well they did qualify-Father General may have taken a very dim view.
If they play South Korea, it'll be a draw unless each team can absolutely avoid it and south koreans will get silly maudlin. I'd love to see them play the U.S. |

You won't get two asian teams playing against each other until the knock-out stages. So, the chances of a NK vs SK in the world cup is pretty slim, unless both get to the knock-out stages. Which, IMO would be slim. |

That's cool.
The match I saw them play against S. Korea a while back looked kind of shabby.
Congrats to them. |
