North Korea surprised many as they lost 1-2 to Brazil in their opening Group G match but showed an Asian squad that could handle the pressures of Kaka and Fabiano. The Chollima are longshots to qualify from Group G and playing in their first FIFA World Cup in 44-years but Korea DPR manager Kim Jong-Hun is building hope based on being able to score on Brazil. "If you saw me being happy at our goal, it is because we showed that we are capable of scoring against the Brazilians and that is something to be proud of," Kim said this week. "We didn't win, but we have picked up some confidence and I think we will do well in the next two games."
