Kim Jong-il bans World Cup coverage – unless North Korea win
North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has banned the World Cup from being shown in his country – unless they win, the Daily Telegraph reports.
The Supreme Leader has ordered state-run television not to broadcast live games, and to only screen highlights of North Korea’s victories.
The ruling means that 99 per cent of the country’s 29 million population will not be able to find out who wins the competition unless the 350-1, outsiders win it.
Games between other nations will be banned from the airwaves, while any highlights of North Korea’s matches will be heavily edited to ensure that they look like the better team.
