Video on achievements of North Korea in Brazil is spoof
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- A video on internet about achievements of North Korea at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil is a fake.

According to the video, North Korea sailed through the group stage with a 7-0 win over Japan, 4-0 win over the U.S. and 2-0 win over China, putting them in a playoff against Portugal.

It also shows images of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un superimposed on the big screen at Rio’s World Cup fan fest.

Though this is all clearly nonsense, it doesn’t appear to be North Korean nonsense. The news anchor’s voice doesn’t match up with her lips and, according to Reddit user "crnprdian," the voiceover’s dialect is all wrong.

Then there’s also the fact that most of the 2014 World Cup’s matches are being broadcast in North Korea, albeit on a 24-35 hour delay, so the country’s residents are aware of what is actually happening in the tournament.
