So the DPRK's football team qualified for the second round of World Cup qualifiers for Asia after finishing second in their group. Japan finished 1st, DPRK 2nd, Syria 3rd and Myanmar 4th. It would be really cool if they managed to reach the world cup.

Palestine also finished second in their group so they also progresses to the next round

It's the spectre of communism! The ghosts of the DDR team which triumphed over their Western brethren in 1974 giving their combined strength to the DPRK.

DPRK has actually done quite well historically in the world cup right? Correct me if I'm wrong but both Koreas have actually made it all the way to the quarter finals at some point if I remember correctly.

Last decent result was a QF in 1966. Last participation in a tournament was 2010 in South Africa. Other than that they never really achieved something sadly, apart from Asian Cup participation.

they were last in the World Cup as recently as 2010 in South Africa. My primary memory of them in that tournament is Emmanuel Eboué trying to listen into their team huddle as if he spoke Korean, good bit guy was a mediocre right back but was definitely funny dude
