North Korea have been told by Fifa that Kim Myong-won will only be able to play as a goalkeeper in the World Cup and not in his usual role as a striker. The North Korean coach, Kim Jong-hun decided to name only two regular goalkeepers in his squad with Kim, who plays for Amrokgang, as the back-up.

The South Korean team have been crowned fastest texters in the world. The team of 18 year old Yeong-Ho Bae and 17 year old Ha Mok-Min went thumb-to-thumb against competitors from more than a dozen countries to win the title in a competition today in New York City.
