Remember when North Korea played at the World Cup? 

Brazil is fighting for their country, North Korea is fighting for their lives.

Scoring against Brazil is an achievement

Goal keeper after returning to North Korea: 💀

WW1-Bullets Ww2 - art school WW3- World Cup loss

I remember this world cup. The glorious nation of North Korea winning the world cup, all thanks to their leader and leading goal scorer Kim Jong Un. Kim scored 20-0 against Brazil, 21-0 against Portugal, 25-0 against Ivory Coast. Glorious nation of North Korea did celebrate much that year, and it was all the fault of the United States.

Other Countries: its ok we can always try again North Korea: try again??!!

Those aren’t tears from someone who got grouped in the World Cup, those are tears from someone who’s about to get grouped by a rifle once he gets home 😔

North Korean coach; Play like your life depends on it. North Korean players; chuckle North Korean coach; I'm serious.

they showed the portugal match on north korean tv after the good result against brazil. the commentator didnt say a word after a the first few goals.

Most people in North Korea still thinking they won that WC)

Rest of the world after losing :😭😭 DPRK: 1727828 years in labour

I completely forgot NK played in the 2010 World Cup.

Chong Tae-Se (the player that cried) actually played at a decent level, he played for German side Köln in the Bundesliga!

Poor guys...

ok they did terrible in the 2010 wc, but they were one of the biggest surprises way back then, in the 1966 wc

I remember watching the DPRK vs Brazil game in London in 2010 (in a pub) and the Koreans gave everything in that game, they were phenomenally fair, gracious and committed. They left everything they had on the pitch that day and suffered for it against Portugal. But the pub went from supporting Brazil to the DPRK by the end We love an underdog and they were like a non league side in the 5th round of the FA cup that day.

(Thanks Google Translate) This is the second time that North Korea has gone to a World Cup. The first time was at the 1966 World Cup in England. And they caused a huge impact. Although they started losing to the Soviet Union 0-3, they tied with Chile 1-1 and closed the group by eliminating Italy 1-0 In the quarterfinals they face Portugal and in the first 30 minutes North Korea won 3-0; but in the end Portugal, led by the great Eusebio, came back to beat North Korea 5-3 in the end. We could say that Portugal got revenge in 2010 by winning 7-0. And it is in this World Cup 2010 that North Korea and South Korea participate, but in different groups. In total, North Korea in 2 World Cups has accumulated 6 goals for and 21 goals against. From Lima, Peru, 🔴⚪🔴South America

as an isolated country and their players play in home clubs champion of north korea this results were exeptable

So basically Portugal and Ivory Coast went into their games with NK with the right mental attitude after seeing Brazil concede and only win by one goal.

Aren’t you old enough to remember that they made the quarter finals in 1966 and at one stage in the quarter final led Portugal 3-0 before losing 5-3?😃

I remember when they played in 1966! They beat Italy on the way to the quarterfinals and there they were beating Portugal 3-0 but amazingly lost 5-3. If they had hung on then they would have played England in the semifinals!

I was at the North Korea v Brazil game at Eden Park. However I think this video shows the wrong scores. According to the North Korean media, this was a World Cup again won by North Korea 😊

Pemain Korea Utara nangis bukan karena terharu akhirnya bisa maen lagi di world cup sejak 1966 . Tapi nangis karena takut kalo kalah atau tersingkir auto dirudal

pamiętam, wygrali wtedy w finale z portugalią, oglądałęm w północnokoreanskiej telewizji

Was at the North Korea- Portugal 7-0 game in Cape Town. Never forget seeing that Ronaldo goal where the ball flicked over his head 😂 Great Memories

Quarter finalists in 1966 including a victory over Italy.

honestly pretty impressive against brazil, considering they problaly never went against a team outside of north korea prior to this

Their supreme godly leader will not be happy about their performance 😅

This was infact the second time North Korea played in a World Cup, Making their debut in 1966

Coach on the side lines was like: "Win this or See you on the other side boys"

Скоро будем вспоминать , как сборная России играла на чемпионатах мира и европы

Remember they have 3 generations rule, its not only the players and coaches, but also their families 💀💀

Getting eliminated from the world cup Other Countries: Don't worry. Next season could soon be our chance! North Korea: You ruined our glory. Eternal hard labour for you.

Isso foi tragico infelizmente acho que nunca mais vamos ver a corea do norte disputando algo no futebol , e nem em nenhum esporte 💔💔😪

Triều Tiên 🇰🇵 đã trở lại sau khi nghỉ dịch mong họ có thể giành vé dự World Cup thêm một lần nữa

Watching dead men has a rather sinister feel to it.

Of course I remember North Korea playing in the FIFA World Cup of 2010. I was 24 years old and the 2010's World Cup was my 4th I watched on tv (1st it was 1998)😉

Give me freedom ~ Give me freedom ~ Give me freedom ~

I remember this WC and this game, i was only 13. What a time ! ❤️

What happened to North korea national football team since World cup 2010 South Africa?

I remember watching NK vs. Brasil, and it was a really tough fight up until the first goal & an entertaining match!

В первый раз они играли на ЧМ в Англии,в 1966 году и устроили там маленькую сенсацию.Если не ошибаюсь, вышли из группы

In north korea tv broadcast about this they fucking win😂 i dnt know how they do it but all people their think they really win

Of course i remember because North Korea won the World Cup. Our Glorious Leader showed us the Video.

Юм на джи играл с Криштиано и забил бразильцам - впрц он уже больше достиг чем многие))

I mean that was impossible to North Korea to qualify with this group Portugal with young Ronaldo and many other good players Ivory Coast with their Drogba Brazil with their legendary players OMG😮

What a goal by Ronaldo. Even when he doesn't see the ball he score EZ. 😄

It's astonishing that players in malnutrition managed to play 3 games in a row

In the North Korean history books. They won every game and never gave up a single goal

I miss the olden days

Этих футболистов, скорее всего, уже нет в живых.

They probably didn’t even let the North Korean public watch, and just reported back saying they won…

This is the chance for all the team to escape North Korea.

Erm…it depends which occasion you’re referring to…they played in 1966 and 2010…you’re asking if people remember something but there’s 44 years difference…

Игроки северной Кореи не вернулись в Северную Корею. Они стали футболистами, чтобы сбежать из страны 😂

Honestly feel bad for 'em. Brazil and Portugal are rough.

To lose 2-1 against Brazil is actually an incredible accomplishment by NK

fun fact: After the match against Brazil, North Korea decided to live stream the next game against portugal on TV there since they played decently well against Brazil, But we all know what happened to them in that match.... (Not sure if this is real so pls don't attack me)

Россию в эту группу вместо Корейцев, результат такой же был бы)))

First match wasn't televised in North Korea, but because the team did well against Brazil so the regime allowed the transmission of the second match. It was a propaganda disaster. According to reports from Radio Free Asia and the South Korean media, the team and manager were forced onto a stage at the People's Palace of Culture in front of 400 government officials, students, and journalists. According to the Guardian, the athletes were subjected to a "six-hour barrage of criticism" for their poor performances that was led by a TV commentator and sports minister Pak Myong-chol. The only players who missed out on the humiliation were Jung Tae-se and An Yong-hak, who were based in Japan.

Quite many years ago , he played in Korean league. He was a member of Suwon Samsung. but he was not a regular member in his team. I think that he was not benefited for football skills. Eventually he failed his career as a foot player in Kiresn league too. His football skill is equal to just player of high school

Дай бог чтоб живы остались футболисты после этого

How is they get out of North Korea?

All the players did not return to north korea because they were afraid being excecuted for bringing shame to their country because they did not win. True story

After the game, all the players were killed by Kim Chen😂😅

other teams losing: well we can be better next season and win better north korea: oh no we dead

Kim jong un : i have rocket...you want rocket?

The goalkeeper traveled from North Korea to South Africa to keep lying on the floor

I often wonder how much the players were aware of the teams from the other continents. Information is blocked on everything in Nth Korea and the players were probably not even aware of their own ranking.

Szkoda mi trochę korei

After returning to North Korea Team: 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 Reserve team: 💀💀💀💀💀 Coach: 💀

When You Realised That India Never Played in FIFA World Cup 😂 Even After Having Total Population of 1.43 Billion ( And Large Amount of Young Population)

North Korea did not do that bad..

Bro the video ended even before i came

Como no recordar a Corea del norte campeón del mundo!! 🇰🇵

that baseline goal was sick af

Are they players still alive or have they already been executed?

Are they still alive?

Probably after when they returned home , they would have been sent to 15-20 years of hard labour....

So let me get this straight a country, who had literally every single building in it blown up by the U.S. and then was subject to 60 years of war blockades, only lost 2-1 to at the time one of the best teams in the world? Seems like a pretty big achievement to me

i remember there Formation , just 1-0-9 😂 But i was really happy for them when they scored that One goal

I saw a 1-0 win agains Brazil a 0-0 draw with Portugal and a 10:0 win against the USA.

The guy who scored against Brazil came home to a military uniform, the rank of Colonel and a box full of military service medals and awards, and more but not least: Some food

Still impressive performance against brazil for a country thats been isolated since their independence.

I don't know much about what goes on in North Korea, but for all we know, this might be the most freedom those players will experience.

And the North Koreans didn't realize that they claimed Portugal as a true World Cup winner in 2010, when it was actually won by Spain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Emlékszem. A Portugálok ellen már 3:0 - ra vezetett É. Kórea, de Eusébióék összeszedték magukat és 5:3-ra fordítottak, ez 1966-ban volt.

Fun fact. N.Korea qualified by beating Saudi Arabia. Otherwise, Saudi would have faced another humiliation facing Brazil and Portugal in one group.

quiero un mundo unido, quiero que corea del norte participe de los mundiales

When your opponents have first world nutrition and you had a bag of grass for lunch

I remember the match. North Korea was playing with a goal keeper and ten defenders.

why play with a ball when u can play with a bo-

Ага, тогда ещё в Сев Корее по тв всем своим жителям рассказали что их сборная стала чемпионами мира) Они до сих пор там в это верят)

I remember it. I never saw a team try as hard as they did, I mean of course it was for their and their families lives. But man it was something to watch. They held on for as long as they could until they just kinda broke.

Aw shucks, We lost all of our group stages in the world cup and had a net goal amount of -11, guess we have to go back to the coal mines!

Ну если честно то против Кореи очень сильные сборные, даже Котдивуар с Калу, Дрогба и ЯЯ туре

2010 forever remembered as the most ANNOYING WC, the sound of a swarm of hornets constantly in the background.

Fun fact: North Korea actually played in the World Cup in 1960 and shockingly made it to the Quarters but loss to the most brutal way possible, losing 3-5 against Eusebio's Portugal from a comeback at the 2nd half.

Главного тренера на рудники отправили,а в стране сказали что они финал у американцев выиграли😂Ну а кто там переспрашивать будет😊

North Korea vs Portugal 1966: 3-5 North Korea vs Portugal 2010: 0-7
