Didn't they do well against a side ranked 104 places above them? No pretentions about them. Good, honest, workmanlike football and rattled Brazil for most of the game.

So the Yanks are likely to play Germany or Australia.

They were a tidy looking team weren't they, far better than the other outsiders New Zealand. And their striker the no.9 Tae-Se Jong looked pretty handy. It's a pity they are in such a tough group.
I love the way the same game can be seen differently!
I also thought the N Koreans were workmanlike and disciplined BUT I thought they looked like a team worthy of their world ranking. They had little or no creativity, I don't think there was a game plan beyond shutting out Brazil and even in that looked suspect. Their marking was pretty poor, particularly with picking up runners.
I certainly didn't think Brazil looked rattled, I'd have said it was more frustrated. It was only a matter of time before they scored imo. I thought Brazil eased off once they'd secured the points.
BUT, all of that said, I reckon North Korea have to be congratulated for effort; there was no lack of it. Perhaps it was a realistic approach but I couldn't help but wish for a little more enterprise from them.

I agree - as I said in the other thread on the subject. They played like a humourless, poorer and less skilled version of South Korea. Pretty much like the country itself!
And Brazil were cruising - they only let in that goal because they were being a little too casual at the end.
