Blood, sweat tears before kickoff - Brazil 2-1 North Korea






















Japanese born Jong Tae-se
‘North Korea’s 'Rooney’
Towering head and shoulders
His teammates look puny

Kawasaki Frontale's hitman
Tears during the national anthem
True patriot caught on camera
Seen from Ellis Park to Arnhem

Dunga's team of battlers
Fashioned in his own image
Fended off North Korean muscle
Holding their own in the Scrimmage

Maicon's Curling piledriver
With added steel and graft
Robinho's all round wizardry
Elano finishing off his handicraft

Samba beat outfought the Vuvuzela
Group of death harbours a shark
Historic consolation by Nam
Most vital since Ayresome Park

Number 7
