I was hoping to ask the North Korean ambassador to India, or someone in the set-up, how nostalgic they were about 1966 and what expectations they had for 2010. This is how the conversation went:
Me: "Hello, is this the DPRK embassy?"
Embassy man: "Yes."
Me: "I am a journalist in New Delhi and I would like to speak to someone about football in the DPRK and about your expectations for the 2010 World Cup."
Embassy man: "Yes."
Me: "Could you connect me to somebody please?"
Embassy man: "You can ask me questions."
Me: "So does this bring back memories of 1966?"
Embassy man: "Yes. We are very proud."
Me: "Okay. Is there a lot of excitement about the tournament in North Korea?"
Embassy man: "Yes. We are very happy."
Me: "So what are your expectations for the team?"
Embassy man: "DPRK will win the World Cup."
Me: "Excuse me?"
Embassy man: "We will defeat everybody. We will win the World Cup 100%. Thank you. Bye."
And that was that.
