NORTH KOREA WILL REACH LAST 16 - JONG

zocoss SG

Striker Jong Tae-se has boldly predicted North Korea will progress to the knockout stage of the World Cup alongside five-time winners Brazil.

Kim Jong-hun's side, who have so far kept their training sessions completely under wraps in South Africa, open their Group G campaign against the Brazilians next Tuesday before tackling Portugal and the Ivory Coast.

North Korea reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in their only other appearance 44 years ago.

Few are expecting them to repeat such heroics this time, but Japan-based striker Jong - who netted in Sunday's 3-1 friendly defeat to Nigeria - has promised to score in every pool game and fire his side through to the last 16.

"I will keep my promise of scoring one goal per game," he said in The Chosun Ilbo. "In our group, it will be Brazil and North Korea who will advance."

these NKoreans should stop making fools of themselves !

they would consider themselves lucky if they don't concede more than 15 goals in the 3 games !

and if they can even score 1 at all !

I hate the north koreans... they are the team I hate most this world cup..

I hope the really die in the group of death... 3 defeats, 0 goals scored and the most goals conceded in one tournament (currently the record is 16 goals, by korea republic in 1954).

I hope Brazil, Ivory coast and Portugal all thrash north korea. With Kaka, Robinho, fabiano, Ronaldo, Deco, Drogba, Eboue and gang, I am sure north korea would see plenty of 'stars' and goal conceded.

I hope that your bets will fail miserably.

i think let's seperate politics from football la.

I do believe the NK's players train just as hard, and proud to get into the WC via proper qualifying leh.

They submit a stiker as a goalie with no regular goalkeeper available. What nonsense.

The man who was death SG

They submit a stiker as a goalie with no regular goalkeeper available. What nonsense.

they have regular keeper lah they just wanted an extra striker instead of a third GK , what a stupid rule anyway to insist you must have three gk, how many times have u seen a third choice keeper being used in the world cup?

N korea qualified on merit, must give credits to the players qualifying ahead of saudi arabia and iran..
