The North Korean football team has been shamed in six-hour public inquiry into their failure in the World Cup, deemed a ‘betrayal’ of the country’s leader.
North Korea lost all three of their group matches, including a 7-0 drubbing at the hands of Portugal.
The coach has been forced to become a builder and has been expelled from the Workers Party of Korea. However, the team has apparently got off quite lightly as in the past, athletes and coaches who performed badly were often sent to prison camps.
