North American players sometimes get upset when facing criticism. They should “just give thanks that they don’t live in North Korea.” For failing to advance beyond the first round in the World Cup, the North Korean soccer team was humiliated publically for six hours. Their coach has been sent to do construction work and kicked out of the Workers’ Party. USA Today notes the irony. “They make him a blue collar guy, but won’t let him be in the Workers’ Party? Go figure.”
