      Guys you do know north korean players are treated like heroes in north korea. They arent gonna kill their players cause then they wouldn’t have a team

      I've Heard that South Koreans actually Support the North Koreans When they play other Nations

      So I wouldn't consider this a Rivalry
      They Love each other they just can't admit it lol

      in My Country Algeria we are Literally One Country But No way in Hell Fans from Deferent Provinces Would Support each other vs Clubs from other Nations Because you don't want your Rivals to have Continental Glory ( Except if it's Egypt in that Case we are United Again )
