North Korea - the World Cup's Mystery Men

A small piece of football history will be made in Johannesburg when Brazil play North Korea for the first time, perhaps the most incongruous pairing thrown up by the World Cup draw.

Brazil are five-time winners and the world's top-ranked side; most of their players are superstars on a global level.

The majority of North Korea's squad are unknowns, insulated from the intense glare of the world's biggest tournament in their secretive homeland. At 105th, they are also the lowest-ranked team at the competition.
