World Cup Soccer-North Korea/China

I heard this on the news last night and thought, "hmmm..." So, North Korea or the Peoples Republic of Korea, PRK, has fielded and qaulified a team for the World Cup. China, however, did not qualify. For one thing, I thought this would have been reversed. China has so many resources it can throw at something like this. No to mention all the people it can throw at it. I would have thought they could have compiled a team that would've made it into the tournament.

PRK, Chins'a little step brother, is in the World Cup but their government would not issue visas for its citizens to attend the matches. WC fever has hit fever pitch and national pride for ones own team is exuding from the pores of their countryman. But the team is not without its cheering crowd. In a twist of fate, the Chinese are rooting for the North Koreans. Stange bedfellows I tell ya
