  1. I haven seen the video yet but I think I know the answer

    Korea had a close game against Brazil in the 2010 world cup. So they thought it would be good to prodcast their next game for the first time vs Portugal. But they got their ass kicked. So to seem like their team wasn't shit and that North Korea was great. They told everyone that Portugal won the world cup so people would think that North Korea would only lose to the champions. Hopefully I'm right

  2. According to a well known North Korean defector who is now a journalist, the manager and his family (wife and 1 daughter) were actually executed few months later for an unknown reason. He wrote article on dongailbo about this in 2020.

    This was actually a serious incident in North Korea, as it was first game that was ever broadcast live. All the North Korean political and military leadership gathered at Pyongyang stadium to watch the game live, and two elderly North Korean military generals died of heart attack on the scene.

    Perhaps the unfortunate football manager could've kept his life if Portugal didn't play as hard and won something like 3-0 instead. The manager actually worked very hard to bring North Korea to world cup for first time in 44 years. It should be noted that these Portuguese footballers indirectly contributed to gruesome death of 3 innocent people.

  3. 0:24 Everyone except the North Koreans and the woman who worked in the bookmakers near me. I had the Netherlands to win the tournament each-way, meaning I'd get one third odd's if they were runners up. I handed over my betting slip only to be told Spain won. I said I know, I watched it, this bet is each-way. She asked what does that mean? Fortunately someone else working there knew what they were talking about and I got paid out.
