I'm invited to a huge party to see that match. The host has a home cinema with a four meter screen, the kind where you have to move your head with the action.

I don't want to break your heart Ravenne, you're dear to me. But, but... Many of my favorite players are in the England team... And I like Philip Lahm...
Okay. My heart is with England and my brain with Deutchland. There...
YvanleDiplomatic! Have fun watching the game, 4 m screen sound like quite an event. We'll be watching with friends from Sweden, Brazil - and the UK. So there'll be reason to celebrate no matter who wins. My heart's still with Germany though.

Germany - England could very well turn out to be the best match yet.. Looking forward to it!

Btw, the world cup champions have already been found: North Korea wins the world cup

I'm sorry that the USA is out, but pleased that at least one African team has made it to the knock-out stages of the first African World Cup.

Yeah, we won!

Actually I think it's fake. From the reports I have heard the media in North Korea did tone down the two Brazilian goals, but didn't claim victory. And the game against Portugal was actually broadcasted live - first time that happened. They may not do that again in the foreseeable future given the result of the game.

I remember seeing that bunch of Korean spectators. Did you notice that they appear at several places of the news clip in mirror image?
That's a sad reality for those who live there...

Oh I'm not saying they didn't try to manipulate things. I'm just saying, that in the other reports from North Korean media, they have not flat out lied, just hidden the truth by focusing on the one goal, not reporting the end result, and only briefly mentioning the two goals against them.

As an example:

Quote:
Pyongyang, June 16 (KCNA) -- The league match of the 2010 World Cup between the DPRK and Brazil took place at dawn (Pyongyang time) on Wednesday.

From the outset of the match the two teams fought a seesaw battle. The DPRK footballers created good shooting chances, not losing their confidence even after losing two goals.

At about the 88th minute of the match Jong Tae Se headed the ball before passing it to Ji Yun Nam who powerfully kicked it into the rival's goalmouth, scoring a goal.

The DPRK team will meet its Portuguese rival on June 21.

the point is that while North Korea do manipulate the media very much, the western media often goes for the hyperbolic as well when reporting on North Korean media manipulation.

In the above mentioned clip I for one question the English subtitles.

In my opinion, this sounds like an outright lie. Saying they lost two goals means they failed two goal scoring chances, not that they suffered two goals.

And to maintain the lie, they never say they lost or didn't win.

I don't know why FIFA allows tyrant dictator countries to participate.

Yes... Although not necessarily two different halves. But I hope so.
