N. Korean Sports Incentive Program
Now here's a story from the news you don't hear everyday.
CNN News reported this morning that the N. Korean football team was given "hard labor" for it's poor showing at the games in S. Africa.
Rumor: France is taking N. Korea's policy under review. |

at least give a link next time

The TEAM is NOT serving hard labor - only Kim Jong-hun, North Korea�s former national football team manager at the 2010 World Cup Games, is reportedly spending 12 to 14 hours a day at a building site, lugging heavy materials in response to his team�s defeat last month in South Africa.
This is simply because Kim Jong-il LOST FACE when the team gave the regime hope when they were narrowly beaten 2-1 by Brazil in their opening game.�
The team�s remarkable performance in the opening game led to Kim Jong-il airing the following game against Portugal, the first even screened live soccer match in the repressive regime. But the team lost 7-0 to Portugal.
BIG loss of face for Kim Jongil.
Like the previous soccer coaches before him,
Kim Jong-hun should NOT have returned home,
he should have sought assylum in another country.

His sentence states that other coaches SHOULD HAVE not returned home (so they should have sought asylum). Did other coaches before him face hard labour as well? (That is the implication of his sentence.) |

No it doesn't. It states that other soccer coaches did not return home and sought asylum.
"Like the previous soccer coaches before him, Kim Jong-hun should NOT have returned home, he should have sought assylum in another country."
Regardless of the poster's intention his sentence clearly states that the previous soccer coaches did not return home NOT that they should have not returned home. |

It says what it says
"Like the previous soccer coaches before him,

Ok - previous coaches who did not return home - include Jose Roca (Mexican) - N.B. - I never said previous "Korean" soccer coaches..
................In the past, national coaches have not returned to their countries following losses in the finals in the World Cup. In 1978, Mexican coach, Jose Antonio Roca would not return to his country following the elimination of the team in the first group stage. Like their North Korean counterparts who lost 7�0 against Portugal, the Mexicans had suffered a heavy defeat against Germany, losing 6�0...................

.........With that honor comes pressure. Moon Ki-nam, a former national-level North Korea coach who defected to South Korea in 2004, said players are handsomely rewarded with coveted apartments if they win internationally but are punished, some sent to coal mines, if they lose...............

..........The North Korean media, though, believe the coach got off lightly as athletes and coaches who have performed badly in the past often found themselves in jail.............

p.s. in 1966 Portugal also knocked NK out of the World cup. |

| Sounds familiar...wasn't it Sadam's son in Iraq who was the Minister of Sports and when his teams lost he had the members and coaches tortured or killed? |
