No team came into the 2010 World Cup shrouded in mystery like North Korea and after three losses, they'll be taking a one-way trip back to their miserable communist homeland.
They were the longest shot in the tournament regardless of the fact that they were in this year's Group of death. There have been reports that as a punishment the players will have to spend the rest of their lives working in a mine.
None of their home fans were able to watch them in South Africa so Chinese actors and actresses were hired to cheer them on. Bizarre.
North Korea
Best Moment: Scoring a goal against Brazil and a nice one at that, is something that team will never forget.
Worst Moment: The 7-0 curb-stomping courtesy of Portugal, something that everyone else in the world will always remember them by.
Best Result: Losing 2-1 to Brazil (after being tied 0-0 at the half) is one of the most surprising results of this tournament and any World Cup in my lifetime.
Worst Result: The aforementioned beatdown thrown by the front-running Portguese.
Final Tally: 3 losses, 1 goal scored, 12 goals conceded.
Best Player: Midfielder Ji Yun-Nam who scored the goal against Brazil.
Worst Player: Most of the goals weren't really his fault but goalkeeper Ri Myong-Guk gave up all 12 goals in the 2010 World Cup. Ouch babe.
