North Korean players get a Chinese cheering section - CNN.com

Johannesburg, South Africa (CNN) -- North Korea's tenacious World Cup football team needs all the help it can get.

China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported that the Sports Committee of North Korea distributed 1,000 tickets to a so-called "Chinese football fan volunteer army."
