Group G - Korea DPR

North Korea, as they are more commonly known, have only played once before in the World Cup, in 1966. Better known for their 'antics', let's call them, than their footballing ability,but they did beat Guam 21-0 in 2005. Have that England.

They stand little chance in the group they are in, but are certainly going to really go for it.

Capital City: Pyongyang
Captain: Hong Yong-Jo
Manager: Kim Jong-Hun
Star Man: Jong Tae-Se - the big number 9 of the team. 22 caps, and at 24, he looks to be starting at the top of the North Korean formation.
Group Games: Brazil (15th June); Portugal (21st June); Ivory Coast (25th June)
Adam's Prediction: Going there for a bit of a trip, and to show off their nation. 4th in Group G.

Full Squad:
Goalkeepers: Kim Myong Gil (Amrokgang), Kim Myong Won (Amrokgang), Ri Myong Guk (Pyongyang City)
