The Ultimate Sanction?



North Korea qualified for the World Cup yesterday after a goalless draw with Saudi Arabia. Iran failing to beat South Korea meant that Kim Jong Ill's commie buggers get to go to South Africa for the big dance. Surely this is a great opportunity for the UN to pressure FIFA and ban the country from competing as punishment for recent missile testing?

That may require showing that the UN actually has a pair of balls. We know that 'Dear Leader' likes his football and has attended games in the past. If the International community does decided to take away next summer's tournament from the tiny tyrant, can I suggest they wait until after he has organized a synchronized parade featuring every man, woman, child and hot dog, I mean dog, in the country. That would really be a kick in the sack.

So after that do we care how North Korea qualified? No. not really, but if YOU do, then go here.

I don't condone North Korea's actions, but isn't the whole spirit of the World Cup to put those political ideologies aside? I would be upset if they were prevented from competing. They qualified fair and square (have they not?). World Cup should remain above UN Sanctions and such.

@Kopper: Sure. Now tell me again what happened to South Africa during all that apartheid stuff?

And do you ban all countries that have nuclear weapons and do missile tests?

I do not think that Hans Brix and the rest of the UN has the barrs to reave Kim Jong-Il so ronery and sadry arone come next summer.

@Andrei

Nah, just the ones who break the rules set by the rest of the world for good reason.

@Bigus Dickus

You mean the rules set by those who got there first?

Bigus Dickus said...

Maybe those whose foreign policy doesn't involve attacking other countries, oh wait! :)

Now I agree completely. That would effectively eliminate the World Cup and allow us to move on to more important and exciting things like EPL...
