World Cup of Football, 1966. To everyone’s surprise, North Korea’s team qualifies for the final phase in England. In this period of Cold War, relations between the West and the Korea’s Republic of Popular Democracy are at their worst. But supporters pay no heed to this: the quick game and spirit of the Korean team charm the English. On July 19th, Korea even eliminates Italy, defending World Champion, and rallies the enthusiasm of the masses.
