Czech Republic's under-20 national football team to play North Korea

After a 0-0 draw on Saturday with the five-time champion Argentina at the under-20 football World Cup in Canada, the Czech national team faces North Korea. The Czech team knows little about its opponents because, like everything else, the football scene in North Korea is isolated and teams participate in few foreign events. However in 2002, the under-20 North Korean team surprised the sports world by winning the Asian Cup. The Czechs hope to score three points in the match that would ensure their advance to the last sixteen.
