McMaster#28 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 In reponse to the FW listed as a GK "He was a striker and now he's registered as a goalkeeper, He is really a goalkeeper but he's really fast, so we switched him to a striker … But this World Cup, he said he wanted to be a goalkeeper again."

Orzelek Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The Danish newspapers are reporting that apparently 4 of their players are missing and mostly likely has used the WC to escape from the Korean regime! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micado Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The Danish newspapers are reporting that apparently 4 of their players are missing and mostly likely has used the WC to escape from the Korean regime! Same reports here in Holland, but as a addition they report that those 4 were already missing before the Brazil game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pouncer Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 It wouldn't surprise me if any of them tried to flee. Realistically speaking, what are the chances of something nasty happening to them when they get back? I wouldn't like to score an own goal or something, that's for sure.

The chance of something nasty happening to them when they return are not large I think, even if they don't get a point, as long as they do the country and the dear leader proud (or is it the great leader who is in charge?), however if they flee their families will be put into labor camps where they will most likely die from starvation, beating, execution or some other things.

Heartwork Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 FC Wil have signed another North Korean, they already had one who didn't make the squad and have now signed Cha Jong-Hyok on 27 June. He joins Kim Kuk-Jin at Wil, and looking at the NK squad there are actually more foreign based players than I thought, although of the 8, 3 (the two at Wil and Hong Yong-Jo at Rostov) are based outside of Japan.

Heartwork Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Dunno, but accoridng to Wikipedia, a 5th tier swiss club also has a North Korean player called Pak chol-Ryong, although it still has Kim Kuk-Jin in their squad so it's a few years out of date.

Heartwork Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I guess I was right to predict a few of their players may have earned places in Europe after the WC. 2 at FC Wil in Switzerland, one already plays in Russia, and Bochum have signed Jong Tae Se, so in 2011-12 they may have a player in the top flight of one of Europe's top countries (as Bochum are known as a yoyo team, a bit like Germany's West Brom).
