This game will be played in Ellis Park Stadium, Johannesburg on the 15th of June, 2010 @ 20:30 (local Time)

Referee: Viktor Kassai (Hungary)

I think Brazil will kick North Korea's ass, though I can't help feeling sorry for the North Koreans and wishing they'd will. 4-0 is my forecast.

Feel free to discuss!

Most of us here in Brasil agree that our team will make us suffer.

They are brave, disciplined, hard-working, predictable.

A team where there are no soloist.

This tasking, sad and seriuos conception of the football came together with the "love to country" discourse, of unlimeted donation, of overcome.

There are a enlightened and cosmopolitan way to love Brasil. And there are the crude and donkey patriotism.

In this playful and imaginary war, we left home some of ours best weapons: talent, joy and geniality.

So I say, let the artists win.

While your reply was enjoyable to read, I can't help but wonder if you had "herbal or chemical help"... hehe

Brazil to win it 4-0

Lets face it we all know Brazil should walk it, but I suspect most fans (perhaps even Brazilian fans) will cheer on the North Koreans.

I've also noticed quite a few of the forums world cup followers have the DPRK flag, just like me! ?

I myself will support the North Koreans! ?Its an odd thing as to why NK is getting the support, perhaps because of the poor NK people? supporting the biggest underdog in the cup? or we get to see a football team that we've never seen before! ?It's the last two for me!

Hello everyone I am a bit of a lurker on the site but despite people saying North Korea is a poor country and we should cheer them on I feel I should just point out a few little things. The North Korean people or people of the DPRK for the most part will have many restrictions on even seeing the world cup. I direct you to both the following links http://www.dailyexpresso.co.uk/2009/11/world-cup-tv-coverage-banned-by-kim.html

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6649440/Kim-Jong-il-bans-World-Cup-coverage-unless-North-Korea-win.html Also that no citizens of the DPRK have been allowed out the nation, despite what you might think. No fans in the stands will be actual DRPK nationals from what I understand http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup-2010/7719050/Chinese-actors-to-cheer-for-North-Korea-during-World-Cup.html

Even if they could afford it no DPRK citizen is just allowed to leave with a passport like in the USA or UK to go on holiday. Lastly I also want to point out that the DPRK does not have a team for the sake of the nation its fielding a team for “Dear Leader” Kim Jong il (Who is personally interested this world cup and wants to put his team out) while I am hoping that the DPRK scores so the people whom are allowed to watch this kind of event get to see it at all I think we should remember that this isn’t a poor nation as such it is a control one and just because Kim Jong Il has a team on the world stage please be under no illusions this is a country that is impoverished and controlled to the max by its leader not its enslavement or being in the 3rd world or anything else. For more background click here or if you don’t believe me that it’s really this bad http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/newsnight/8701959.stm

So come on DPRK I’m supporting you tomorrow but don’t be fooled about the state of the nation or why it’s like it is, it’s not Africa.

Its not just an issue of rights though... they have power cuts etc and they still wont get to see any match with usa or south korea in. And I really cant see it being allowed if they loose. Regardless of the rights issue I still feel few people will get to see it the DPRK doesnt have bars and stuff and you basically need permission from what im sure i heard in a documemtary to go to any sporting event even inside the nation.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
