"When we stayed in Pyongyang during training our players were hit by lightning, and more than five of them were hospitalised," said coach Kim.

"Some stayed in hospital and then came to Germany later than the rest of us. The goalkeeper and the four defenders were most affected, and some midfielders as well. The physicians said the players were not capable of participating in the tournament.

"But World Cup football is the most important and significant event for a footballer, so they don't want to think about anything but football.

"The fact that they played could be called abnormal, the result of very strong will."

But if the same had happened to Team USA, then it would be cast as "just the breaks." And had we tried to postpone, we'd be branded as pansies.

That's how things work in the Commie world. They can dictate to us, but we're not allowed to dictate to them, or we're the "big bad American bully."

Naw, Kim won't make like Zeus. The soccer team will just lose its K-rations and be forced into hard labor.
