9's from all the judges , bar the Russian one I believe.

I call fix. The IOC need to look into this.

The alleged culprit being North Korea though adds a bit of intrigue to the affair. Presumably the fix was state-approved but it was just an U-16s match. One wonders what goods or services the corrupt Uzbek government offered the corrupt North Korean government and why this was important enough to rig. Or was it a betting ring and if so, how does a North Korean hide or even spend the bung?

So many questions!

Both were already through to the Quarter-Finals so I'm assuming it was a matter of which part of the draw North Korea wanted to be in and I'm guessing they didn't want to be in the one with Japan which is why they lost - incidentally this was the last of the four groups to complete. This was the first goal in a 3-1 defeat.
