Three weeks after the World Cup South Africa 2010, all the soccer teams went back home; some of them with glory, others were received with criticism, coaches and players resigned and got replaced, but the situation ends there. They start over and get ready for the next World Cup in four years.
But, this is not the case for the North Korean soccer team, they were received with shame and were subject to public humiliation. The players were forced to blame coach Kim Jong-hun for the defeat in the three games they played in the World Cup, where the North Korean team suffered a defeat of 7-0 against Portugal leaded by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Kim Jong-hun got the worst part of the punishment, he was ordered by dictator Kim Jong-il to forced labors in a construction site. Now Kim Jong-hun fears for his life
After these events, I wonder if someone ever wants to be part of the North Korean soccer team. Apparently they are obligated to win, or they would be declared a shame to North Korea, and would be treated as traitors to the regime. This Kim Jong-il guy is crazy. With all due respect.
What's happening in this world?
