Hope North Korea can sneak a result here.

[StanSP]

Would love a North Korea win here.

Wonder how much they'd cry if that happened!

[Fox You Forest]

I've gone for a 1-0 win for North Korea in the prediction league.

[dandannieldanok]

Enjoyable game so far, both teams quite adventurous.

Enjoyable game so far, both teams quite adventurous.

And both team with different way to play: good scorers against strong defence.

I agree with that World Cup betting blog: Portugal have been disappointed and North Korea surprising so far, even after this first Portugal goal!

[dandannieldanok]

Portugal playing some lovely stuff now.

[Fox You Forest]

Great prediction. :laugh:

[dandannieldanok]

Embarrassing now.

[C-man]

Have a feeling this won't be broadcast in Pyongyang.

[potter3]

I think they've given up

[MC Prussian]

It is a rout. Ronaldo & Co. helping to raise the goals-per-game average. Thank you, thank you very much.

Portugal vs. Brazil looking like a real treat now, in the region of a 4-4...

Have a feeling this won't be broadcast in Pyongyang.

Only with a one-week delay, and even then they'll proudly mention how North Korea held Portugal to a 1-0... for 52 minutes.

Probably not. Queiroz 'll set up his side more defensively against Brazil.

[marbelladave]

'Flat track bullies'.

If Brazil can be arsed they will tear Portugal apart. Another Ronaldo no show.

[Corky]

Wasn't expecting that after a pretty close first half.

Hope the Portugal v Brazil match has goals in it too.

[Koke]

Have a feeling this won't be broadcast in Pyongyang.

I guess they'll be disappointed with the 0-0 draw.

[Jonezy]

Great, decided to go shopping and missed out on this 7 goal demolition... Some good goals?

[Tilley]

7

This was broadcasted live on Korean state television, the first to ever be televised live.

The commentator apparently at the end said, 'Well done Portugal but we still have four points.'

[Guest Bilo]

No real surprise.

In this company, North Korea were always going to suffer at least one thumping. And still Ronaldo looked fairly anonymous besides a largely irrelevant goal against an already beaten side.

As good a player as he is, he just doesn't seem to do it at international level.

[BoneDog]

I only got home for the second half. Glad I did cos some of Portugals moves were great to watch.

I thought Ronaldo did okay now and then second half. He played a lovely ball low across goal just behind the defender and hit the bar with a quite good effort.
