The World Cup has finally come to a close. I didn’t watch the final, my philosophy is that it doesn’t matter apart from the final score at the end (that’s also my approach to exams). I went on to some Asian news site for a change and had to bow my head to the DPRK, smashing Holland by 8 – 0, whitewashing them and humiliating them eight goals their senior.

What made them so good? How did they easily brush their way to earning the cup, leaving behind defeated angry Germans and South American superstars? I didn’t think for myself, so I continued reading.

It turned out that the Dear Leader, Kim Jong-il, “gave inspiration to the team and trained them to his own level of physical fitness”. Kim also “demanded they have a specific diet, one that gave them endurance and focused their minds”. Kim “taught them the value of teamwork and it’s incomparable advantage in terms of acquiring victory”.

There were video clips sandwiched by the article, in watching them I realised that Kim’s well thought technique was clearly effective, and I’ll be surprised if another team could even tie with them in 2014. I read on, “finally, the Dear Leader, promised that if the team were not to win every match, the team would be executed and the final score forged and sold to the Korean people as the truth.”

I both enjoyed and hated this World Cup. I hope you did, too.
