Brazil-North Korea

Brazil is currently #1 in the world. North Korea is the lowest ranked team in the tournament (105). North Korea's "Rooney" promised a win over Brazil.

1. You really have to feel bad for the North Korean team

It's going to be open season on them when they play CIV and POR, now that those two bored us all to tears just now.

2. I was more captivated than bored.

I thought something was going to happen sooner or later. There were only 3 shots on goal in the entire game!

3. NK is playing inspired defense

They attack the ball on defense. Brazil is bound to get a good shot off sooner or later. They've had some chances, but nothing great.

4. The DPRK is a defensive machine!

Far more interesting first half than I expected.

6. That was the match of the tournament so far

The bravery of the North Korean defense vs. the magic of the Brazilians. Great stuff.

9. It is the only match where both teams have scored and someone has won!

It ended up being a great game.

7. The PDK played an inspiring game defensively

They did what they set out to do, for the most part.
They kept the Brazilians offense in check for the majority of the game, their keeper played very well and they got a goal - losing by only 1.
I don't think they'll have any better luck (winning) against Portugal or the Ivory Coast.
But, both of those sides know they can't take the Koreans (North) lightly.

It has been a spectacular start for the north-east Asian teams: Korea-winners, Japan-winners, PDK one goal losers to Brazil.

The other 'Asian' qualifier Australia...we'll see how they do in their next games.

8. Wow!

Time will tell, but one has to wonder about Brazil's decision to go Italian in style.
