North Korea & Soccer Unity

Normally there isn't much to be said about a soccer game in the grand scheme of things. It's a bunch of folks running around and kicking a ball. But every now and then something really special happens. Steve Wilson encountered it at the Asian games in Qatar. North Korea and South Korea played each other at the Asian games and at the end of the match, both teams sung a song o f unity. There's hope for the mess that's known as North Korea :

The dividing fence became blurred as both sets of supporters broke out into a mutual song and began swaying together. The words, a young South Korean girl explained, were those of unity, where all Koreans are one family; brothers and sisters.
