According to an article in USA Today the team had to appear on stage before a crowd of 400 govt. officials
and were subjected to 6 hours (yes 6 hours) of criticism and denunciations. The coach was also fired
and relegated to a factory job and kicked out of the Peoples worker party (I think that is the official name of
the Communist party in North Korea).

    And I thought Philly fans were rough...

    Well...they only scored 1 goal and gave up 12 in 3 games. That's pretty good, huh?! image

    Frank McCourt should suggest a North Korea visit for Joe Torre and his players. Maybe that'll wake 'em up.

    All things considered, I'd rather be in New York.

    I'm still trying to figure out why they are even allowed into the WC in the first place.

    I assumed their punishment was being forced to go back home.
