FIFA insist they have no information on reports that four North Korea players have gone AWOL at the World Cup, reports The Sun.
It is rumoured that Myong-Won Kim, Chol-Hyok An, Kyong-Il Kim and Sung-Hyok Pak may have tried to defect and leave the team camp in South Africa.
The players were listed as absent on the official team-sheet for the game with Brazil but FIFA cannot shed any light on the situation.
Communications director Nicolas Maingot said: "We have no information on this — we have only been contacted on this issue by the media.
"Our media officer with the Korea DPR has said their delegation completely deny these rumours."

voodoo lah, u duno meh.
there are probably more security officers than players....also, they also didn't send their best players, more likely those with many loved ones back home....

hw is dat a selection criteria?
They should perform better if their loved ones are threatened with death instead.
Which country would allow them to win out of pity?
I'll chop off your wife's head if you dont score
I'll chop off your wife's fingers, one by one, starting with the thumb. Then your children will be next. Then slit their arms and splash saline solution onto them, and move on to drill their thighs with a 9mm drill bit attached to a masonry drill.
