@@HarryWessex If the DPRK would shoot missiles, i doubt they would focus manufacturing. They know that would be the end of Noth Korea, so they would target symbolic areas. In case of an accidental launch (somebody going mad), i doubt the missiles would target anything like manufacturing too. Except for the case of accidental launch, i think the DPRK is one of the most unlikely nations to launch intercontinental missiles. Not just because of technology, but because of them knowing what would happen in retaliation.

This story about cheering on a team that isn't yours reminds me of the World Cup final in 2018. I was at a pub with my friends that afternoon and there was a group of French supporters there. I'm Romanian, I bare no ill will towards the French, but I felt it would be nice to give them a bit of excitement, so for 90 minutes I cheered for the underdog. Soon enough the whole pub caught on. When France went 1-0 up they were extatic, but when Croatia got the equaliser the whole pub erupted. After the final whistle and trophy celebration, I was about to leave when one French supporter saw me, shook my hand, smiled and said "Good game!" I've never felt so connected to a stranger and a team that isn't mine ever in my life. It was at that moment that I truly experienced and understood why we call it The Beautiful Game.

“Football friend” 👍👍

My grandparents always speak fondly when it comes to the North Korean team. I can tell it hurts them when North Korea is in the news for something bad, they will always cherish the memory of those footballers who came to us

In Iran that North Korea team of 1966 became known as the "Yellow Storm". Or something to that effect. All of Asia was proud of their performance.

As a portuguese, I didn't knew this part of the story about North Korea national team. But I can tell you that the quarter-finals game is still the stuff of legends over here, after all this time. As you mentioned it, they were winning 3-0 until Eusébio scored four of the five goals that gave us victory, on one of the most epic wins of the portuguese national team and scored a golden chapter on "Pantera Negra"'s career. Watching this video about the NK side on the first stage of the 1966 World Cup was pleasant to me, a part of football history that I didn't know. Thanks, that's why i'm your fan.

This was really one of the most wholesome stories I have ever heard. It is a shame that politics divide us from other people, but it is amazing to see the effect of football overcome this divide. The governments of our respective nations may not be great, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t reach out and establish connections of friendship with the people of the world, regardless of where they are from.

Great video, I'm from Middlesbrough and my grandad speaks of this fondly and in detail whenever I mention the 66 WC. He went to every home game but didn't have the money to get across to Merseyside at the time. I think the general psyche of the town is very self-deprecating, as 'nobody really gets us and everyone who hasn't visited here thinks we live in a sh*thole' so we absolutely love an underdog (lots of Tyson Fury fans, not many Anthony Joshua fans, lots of Ricky Hatton fans, not many Mayweather fans - to reference another popular sport in these parts).

A nice surprise to see my club mentioned on here for once. UTB!

Reminds me of the rugby game between South Africa and Japan in Brighton, they only had a 5000/1 change of winning and the noise from the England supporters was insane every try

How can this not make you smile with delight? Even as a Sunderland fan, it's a story that can only raise my respect for Boro. As for the 5-3 loss to Portugal, how much of a beast was Eusebio?!

This truly is the beautiful game. There is no other sport that can do something like this.

One is a place of hardship, misery and despair.... And the other is North Korea

That’s the thing I love about such tournaments.

Had North Korea beating Portugal in the quarter finals they would have played England in the semi-final. That would have been interesting and I expect their supporter base would then have included Scots, Irish and Welsh.

Awesome video, sad times though now, that matches might be played without fans for a long time.

This is utterly bonkers. I love it.

Great stuff. Never knew this was a thing
