No sympathy here. It's sports and Portugal did what it needed to do.

China and North Korea are massively different situations.
Sure many North Koreans in North Korea might not know any better and think their country's a good place to be but I find that very hard to believe about those that get out. There would be no need for the North Korean government to send security forces following team members all over the place or place threats against players' family members if they weren't looking to get out.
You say "It's sports" but honestly I look at all that celebration while these guys are getting embarrassed and can't help but think that some things are more important than sports, like not partying it up while socking it to a team of guys in their positions.
