That saving face is part of it, but I think its more connected to the Kim regime’s desire to control its citizens by cutting off their access to the outside world. Read more

If only US Soccer were this bashful.

All while on horseback

That is absolutely the reason. The regime controls all the media so if the team lost, nothing would be said and they would be shuffled out to labor camps and/or be shamed publicly. If they won, then it would have been all over Gov’t media and how they owned the SK’s and all the KJU/Trump-like embellishment. Read more

Forget ambitions, North Korea has probably at least a couple dozen nukes already. The only real question is whether they have ones light enough to load on an ICBM or if they are only capable of attacking within East Asia.

I’ll give you an Incheon this, because I think you’re just Busan our balls.

Is it because they were afraid they might lose to South Korea? So they didnt want their own people to see, so they didnt look weak in the eyes of the people? Just dont… Read more

Hey Luis, I’ve got a great money-saving idea! You can re-use this article next year when the Chargers open their new stadium.

Kim Jong Un is reportedly threatening political dissidents with compulsory attendance at a potential North Korea-USMNT match.

Even with the type of play the South Koreans described, each side only received two yellow cards each. Can you imagine having to referee in that environment? Send off a North Korean player and you could end up in a forced-labor camp for the rest of your life. 

Silent Violent Haze is also the name of the new Ben and Jerry’s flavor specifically marketed at the lactose intolerant.
