Remembering 1966

Here's a great story from ESPN.com on the North Korea team that beat Italy and made it to the semifinals of the World Cup in 1966.

From the story:

'What they really need is some of that spirit of '66, when they took Portugal by storm with relentless attacking and scored three goals inside 25 minutes. They lost the game but won hearts - in Liverpool, where the match was played, in Middlesbrough, where the team was based and throughout England. The North Koreans have a strong sense of their own history and coach Kim says he remembers the game well. "We were leading 3-0 but we lost. My players and I are going to do our best to make up for that."'

It's going to be tough for the North Koreans, but if they play against Portugal the way they played against Brazil, winning is a big possibility.
