It's lucky that the US are not hosting the next World Cup...

...as North Korea have done the impossible and qualified for the finals!

Having kept out everything Saudi Arabia could throw at them in temperatures topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit and thanks to a last-minute equaliser from their southern neighbours that helped keep out Iran - another member of the so-called "Axis of Evil" - lil' Kim's football team will be in South Africa next year.

It is the first time the DPRK have qualified since 1966, and for the first time both Koreas will be at the World Cup finals. Given that the US should qualify from their zone, I can't wait for the draw... The US versus the DPRK, anyone?
