North Korea World Cup History:

Number of Previous World Cup Appearances: 1

Last Appearance: 1966

Best Finish: Quarterfinals

All-Time World Cup Record: 1-2-1

Odds:

According to oddsmakers from online sports book BroburySports.com,
North Korea has been given 2,000/1 odds to win the World Cup.

Spain is the favorite coming in with odds of 4/1.

2010 World Cup Qualifying:

North Korea almost didn’t qualify for the 2010 World Cup as it finished tied with

Saudi Arabia in its qualifying region with 12 points (3-2-3) through eight games. Due to
North Korea having a better goal differential (+2) than
Saudi Arabia (0),

North Korea got the bid. It is one of two teams to qualify for the World Cup from its qualifying group, joining

South Korea.

Betting Analysis:

North Korea has a tough draw for the World Cup, as it will play in Group G along with one of the favorites,
Brazil and another contender in
Portugal, along with the

Ivory Coast. Hopes for a good showing will depend on hoping for an upset or a pair of ties while holding

Brazil to limited goals in defeat. While not the biggest long shot, North Korea is close at 2,000/1 odds so a bet on them could pay out tremendous money if the stars all line up, but essentially it is throwing money away.
