My source quotes from many reputable media sources, including the main south korea media and Asian football confederation. It is from hong kong news, which does not need to follow China's media law. I've read through several websites, and this one summarizes up.
Also you might want to look at less biased sources, for example this one:
http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/news/_/...med-public
"The report cited two unidentified sources in North Korea and a Chinese businessman named Yu, described as knowledgeable about North Korea affairs.
South Korea's National Intelligence Service, the country's main spy agency, said Wednesday it could not immediately confirm the report.
Groups in Seoul that monitor information out of North Korea said they could not corroborate the report, and there was no mention of any such meeting in Pyongyang's state media.
A veteran of North Korea's 1966 squad previously had said the team would receive a warm welcome despite its poor performance.
"Now when the Korean team gets home, officials and crowds of people will go to the airport to welcome them," Pak Du Ik, who led his country to the quarterfinals in England 44 years ago, told television news agency APTN in Pyongyang last month.
"We have learned a lesson from the three World Cup matches, we accumulated experience and we found an answer to how to improve our football," he told APTN."
Also think logically about, who would want to be a soccer player if all they do is receive punishments?
.
Also, North Korea is active in the Asian Football Confederation, only reason they weren't in the world cup for so long is because they are not qualified.
edit: after rereading my sentence, I noticed I used "also" so many times, too lazy to fix, cause i g2g somewhere, sry if u find this annoying.
