All I can say is that this news have been criticized by many other Asian news.
I originally translated this news: http://www.zaobao.com/wencui/2010/08/hon...802j.shtml
but because I hit the wrong button, everything I typed was gone.
So to summarize: North Korea team had stayed in china on the way back from south africa, and is welcomed warmly by North Korean embassy, it is unlikely that they will suddenly turn bad against them when they get back to north korea (according to Chinese and south korean news)
North Koreans news had said when they got back to north korea, they were greeted with clapping cheers, flowers from friends, family and fans. North Korea central media praised the team for being able to make it this far.
Asian football confederation has also said that Pyongyang won't punish them.
To shoot down the rumors surrounding North Korea teams, the North Korea's website has said the 16 team members has received the highest honor for North Korean athletes when they qualified for world cup. They did very well, it wouldn't make sense if we send them to mine coals, how would the future of North korea soccer grow without them?
