North Korea blames loss to U.S. on players getting struck by lightning
I don't care for the game of soccer, or know anything about it, but this is funny, no matter who you are!
quote:
After the match, North Korea manager Kwang Min Kim shocked the congregated press by revealing that his side isn't just the youngest team, but it is also the only team in the tournament that's been struck by lightning.
From the BBC:
"When we stayed in Pyongyang during training our players were hit by lightning, and more than five of them were hospitalised," said coach Kim.
"But World Cup football is the most important and significant event for a footballer, so they don't want to think about anything but football.
"The fact that they played could be called abnormal, the result of very strong will."
I have heard some whoppers, and might have told a few, but good Lord!
