Since no one on GAF has bothered to post a Womens World Cup thread (from what I could find), I thought I would make one for this interesting match-up.

Now anytime a team from North Korea plays on a world stage, you can't help but think "what will be the reprecussions back home if they lose?" But there are a couple of new factors going on here:

1. These are women we are talking about. Will they get the same degredation that the mens team recieved from the DPKR last year when they return? ( assuming they lose )

2. They are playing against the USA this time. The Americans are public enemy #1 in DPRK. I believe they call us the American Emperialists. Will reprecussions be worse if they lose to the US?

With that said, I hope this match ends in a draw. Maybe no one will get hurt as a result.

Should be interesting from a political point of view.

LQX · Jun 26, 2011

They look pretty healthy.

Milchjon · Jun 26, 2011

Not to be overly rude, but if you told me that was a mixed team, I would believe you.

Edit: Pic changed.

Especially considering women's football is fucking woeful.

I bet they are all from Pyongyang.

Pretty easy motivation job for the coach, there.

Phantast2k · Jun 26, 2011

Oh wow, some of them must be dudes who are trying to pass for women..
Dyed hair in NK - wat

edit,
come on now, the one on the top left is a male!

Mrs. Manky · Jun 26, 2011

How cheap is hair dye in North Korea? A few of those ladies look like rock stars. Or Japanese mangaka.

'specially 7 and 10.

FOOTE · Jun 26, 2011

This is interesting from a political POV, but the US will most likely beat NK handily.

It's the short hair, I think.

North Korea runs propaganda saying that long hair 'robs the brain of energy'.

Ether_Snake · Jun 26, 2011

NK does this on purpose so that the next time the other teams will lose on purpose.

So fuck it, I hope USA wins.

X26 · Jun 26, 2011

I've got my doubts about #7

Carbonox · Jun 26, 2011

Regarding the comments about their appearances looking sorta...uh...non-NK shall I say? Aren't many of the men's North Korea team living outside of North Korea? May explain why they look more sorta flamboyant with their hair and whatnot. Unless of course I'm completely wrong.

perfectchaos007 · Jun 26, 2011

now the coaches in the back are definitely men.

xbhaskarx · Jun 26, 2011

No way #7 isn't a dude.
20, 18, and 10 are also questionable.

Is that a mixed team? Some of them are really suspicious.

edotherocket · Jun 26, 2011

Hopefully someone does make a thread for the Women's World Cup which just started. I will definitely be following the Australian team's progress and it'd be nice to have somewhere to discuss it.

It should be a good competition. They sold something like 700,000 tickets for this tournament so each game should have a decent atmosphere.

Also, there has been talk that Equatorial Guinea has been fielding dudes:

Last November, after Nigeria beat Equatorial Guinea 4-2 in the African Championships final, the Nigeria Football Federation filed a protest with the Confederation of African Football (CAF), accusing Equatorial Guinea of using two men. According to news services, Nigeria singled out captain Genoveva Anonma and striker Salimata Simpore because of their leg strength and skill level.

I'm surprised the sporting world allows NK to be a contender in any international events. Its not fair on anyone. One team wonders what will happen to them or there families if they lose and the other has to keep in mind that if they win they could be responsible for other people getting hurt.

That's the South Korean women's team dude. Your insult to Best Korea will not be forgotten; the Leader will shower a merciless fire of goals against the US team. But seriously, this is the South Korean team. Aside from the hair, the shirt crest gives it away

Equus Bellator Apex · Jun 26, 2011

I think we all knew it would come down to this...

changed the OP pic to what I'm more confident is the DPRK team. Pictures of the team are hard to come by on Google images

Dresden · Jun 26, 2011

If anything the punishment for losing will be worse. Less attention from the rest of the world, against the Americans, and they're women in North Korea... poor souls.

Phantast2k · Jun 26, 2011

You lied to us, op!

I like how they look manlier than the South Korean men's team.

Even worse, the entire team looks like men.

Yeah, you lying OP.

Is it me, or does #8 seem to be looking directly at the viewer, no matter the angle?

ATF487 · Jun 26, 2011

Over/Under 4 defections

I will probably watch it though, I'm mildly interested in women's football

My appologies on the wrong picture guys. But the pics of the North Korean girls were just supposed to be an added image to fill up the OP, not to be the center of discussion.

SapientWolf · Jun 26, 2011

Oh come on. 12 has a mustache.

Oozinator · Jun 26, 2011

Who will get hurt if the Koreans win ?

Less than 24 hours remain. I wonder if this game will be broadcast in North Korea. They only have 1 channel

They broadcast the men's World Cup games. I believe the first one was shown on delay, but after the game against Brazil was surprisingly close, they decided to show them live, and then they got humiliated by Portugal.

perfectchaos007 · Jun 28, 2011

Still no score. Just like the mens North Korean team, these North Korean women know defense

Shadow780 · Jun 28, 2011

Who's the goal keeper, she's <3.

Okay, that is really really creepy *leaning head*

TheKaeptain · Jun 28, 2011

Their Defense is really good.

Shadow780 · Jun 28, 2011

Two good chances, terrible last pass.

TheKaeptain · Jun 28, 2011

So many chances and nothing.

Revenant · Jun 28, 2011

It's like trying to get through a wall with these North Korean teams.

WAWAZA · Jun 28, 2011

i want my 45 minutes back.
wtf was that?
you call that football?
