Bold TV decision backfires on DPRK

It is said that Korean Central Television (KCTV), the state-run TV channel in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), made a rare and bold decision - to show live the World Cup match between the DPRK and Portugal.

Now, the decision-makers must be regretting that, having seen their goalkeeper Ri Myong Guk going back to his net to pick out the ball seven times.

The Koreans picked the wrong moment to allow their people to see a bit more of the outside world after their team gave mighty Brazil a hard time in the opening match.
