It looks like the North Korean women’s soccer team does not need to be concerned with being sent to a reeducation labor camp after beating South Korea:

North Korea beat South Korea 1-0 in a women’s inter-Korean football match in Chiba on Monday.
Kim Yun-mi scored the only goal of the match as North Korea collected their second straight victory at the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Football Championship at Soga Sports Park in Chiba, Japan.
North Korea, two-time defending champions of the regional women’s competition, beat China 2-0 to open their tournament last Friday. South Korea, however, suffered their second straight loss, having lost their first match to hosts Japan by 3-2.
The two losses mean South Korea can’t win the four-nation tournament. Yoon Duk-yeo’s side was looking to win the regional crown for the first time since 2005. They will try to close out the tournament on a high note against China on Friday, also in Chiba.
There were more than 300 North Korea fans gathered at the stadium on Monday, compared to about 10 people in the South Korean supporters section. [Yonhap]
That last sentence is probably the most amazing thing to me about this game, that South Korea only had 10 fans show up to the game.
Oh, pilsung chosen……doesn’t quite have the same ring to it 😛

Well no wonder they lost, it appears a K-Pop boy band took the field in place of the actual national team. 😉
Not sure why you’re surprised at the number of fans GI.. who’s got time to go all the way to Chiba to watch the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Football Championship? 🙄

Women’s soccer is really too much.
Not many girls I would touch.
If you look at the teams,
you will notice it seems,
they have way more dikes than the Dutch.
