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]

They look pretty healthy.

 

[Milchjon]

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

Edit: Pic changed.

 

[WJD]

Should be interesting from a political point of view.

Especially considering women's football is fucking woeful.

 

[perfectchaos007]

They look pretty healthy.

I bet they are all from Pyongyang.

 

[moojito]

"Play like your family's freedom depends on it!"
Pretty easy motivation job for the coach, there.

 

[Phantast2k]

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]

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

 

[Uno Venova]

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

'specially 7 and 10.

 

[FOOTE]

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

 

[WillyFive]

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

It's the short hair, I think.

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

 

[Ether_Snake]

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]

I've got my doubts about #7

 

[Carbonox]

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]

now the coaches in the back are definitely men.

 

[xbhaskarx]

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

 

[Avocado]

'specially 7 and 10.

 

[Max Armstrong]

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

 

[edotherocket]

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]

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]

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]

You lied to us, op!

[Dresden]

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

 

[xbhaskarx]

You lied to us, op!

Even worse, the entire team looks like men.

 

[Mrs. Manky]

You lied to us, op!

http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-69169.html (German)

Yeah, you lying OP.

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

 

[ATF487]

Over/Under 4 defections

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

 

[perfectchaos007]

Yeah, you lying OP.

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]

Oh come on. 12 has a mustache.

 

[Oozinator]

Who will get hurt if the Koreans win ?

 

[Esch]

dont care about this sport but USA USA USA

leeeeesssss goooo!

 

[Equus Bellator Apex]

dont care about this sport but USA USA USA

leeeeesssss goooo!

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaah!

 

[perfectchaos007]

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

In Best Korea, Best Korea always wins!

 

[xbhaskarx]

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]

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

 

[Shadow780]

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

 

[The Technomancer]

Yeah, you lying OP.

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

Okay, that is really really creepy *leaning head*

 

[TheKaeptain]

Their Defense is really good.

 

[Shadow780]

Two good chances, terrible last pass.

 

[TheKaeptain]

So many chances and nothing.

 

[Revenant]

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

 

[WAWAZA]

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

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

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

Or a DMZ.

 

[ProtoCents]

You lied to us, op!

http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-69169.html (German)

Would.

 

[Aquavelvaman]

Gooooalll
