This is one reason to love big sports deals

Like the Olympics, but frankly shown more in the world cup, a chance to see how much it means for people to be there when their anthem plays...it is touching, even when the regime of the country they represent is as detestable as North Korea. It is still a great moment of humanity.

If somebody told me my national anthem was now "Aegukka"(The Patriotic Song), I'd be crying too.

He is crying because he knows that if he does not perform, Kim Jong-Il will feed him to sharks. (See Tuesday "World Cup today".)

Seeing how he lives and plays in Japan, he's probably crying because he knows what a wreck his country is.
