I've been saying for what seems like forever that international conflict should be fought on the Football (soccer) pitch.

Of course that would mean the US would be put in our rightful place, cause US soccer, frankly, stinks

***They should be refused on the feild to play, untill N. Korea took steps for a peaceful/n­on-nuclear state!***

No, they shouldn't.

The North Korean football team have got to South Africa 2010 by merit.

That should not be denied merely because of the actions of their government.


I like to keep politics and sport seperate, especially in the greatest sporting event on Earth (the FIFA World Cup).
