Jong Tae-Se to Koln.

Was in DPR Korea for 4 days but was not able to do or see anything football related on my tour other than talk with my guide about the DPRK national team. I told her that someday foreign touristx should be allowed to see domestic league matches, like the derby between Pyongyang City and the April 25 teams.

Ri Kwang Chon e Choe Kum-Chol sign in Muangthong United, Thailand PL:

I'll always remember this view i had from the DMZ, into North Korea.
Was amazing.

If North Korea falls one day or if the peninsula reunites, I can say I was there to see it.

I'm also curious and wondering about the local NK league.

Based youtube clips I've watched, Arab TV channels broadcast every fckin league in the world.

its cause of copyright issues. arab tv channels don't care about copyright infringement compared to Sky sports. etc

he can jump really high for someone 6 feet+.

I think Arab stations just pay for it all because some prince or whatnot wants to watch. And the stations could care less about protecting their rights since they don't make money off the peons.
