Match 30 - Portugal x Korea DPR, in game PBP thread.

Yup. It's all over for Korea DPR.

 

It hurts to see Korea being broken

Korea is not playing good. They constantly fall behind, every time there are players open. It's not harsh imo

 

Damn. Another setter for a political joke.

 

They just tired out, is all. It's very difficult to go punch for punch against Portugal.

Can't believe I'm patting North Korea on the back.

 

i remember before the world cup started people were asking if north korea would just leave teh competition if they got whacked...

 

Well, Goodbye North Korea. Hope the South will do better.

 

Now Ivory Coast are almost out as well.

 

Probably more so after doing so against Brazil.

 

NK have no reason to play for a win versus CIV and this match proves they should bunker. Brazil has little incentive versus Portugal, it actually might be better for them to lose so they avoid Spain. Going to be almost impossible for CIV.

 

53' 2-0 Portugal blasts a long diagonal ball from midfield -11m right touch to box top arc. #18 Hugo Almeida plays a short bottom-of-foot blockback to #16 Raul Meireles at the top of the arc, as North Korea's defenders chase back from (Portugal's) right-to-center. Meireles passes diagonally toward box right edge, perpendicular to those defenders' line of sight -- #11 Simão is running the open channel behind them, glides in to 13m 6-right and shoots under Ri to the left back corner.

 

The stage is set for history to repeat itself in reverse order.... North Korea's big comeback... Jong Tae-Se to score 4 goals and this game will end 5-3 North Korea.

 

The more Portugal scores the worse it is for IC.

And it looks like they will score even more, has N Korea even had a shot on goal?

EDIT: And I was right

 

Sadly, that might not be a joke.

 

Okay, mercy rule should now be in effect.

 

Ugh - and there's 30 minutes left!

 

And Tiago makes it 4. This is gonna be a huge rout. There's still half and hour for crissakes. 8-0 or 9-0, don't be surprised if it happens.

 

This is terrible news for Cote D' Ivoire. With a GD of -2 already and Portugal at +4 that's a six goal swing needed for Ivory Coast to go through. That's if Portugal don't score any more!

 

um - you do know what their government is like don't you....

 

Portugal scoring for fun now.

 

Dude, chill. I am by complimenting them.

 

it hurts to wathc this. they play like 105th on fifa chart now
