Tottenham fans won’t be the most excited club football supporters at the moment seeing as the Lilywhites are far from in-form and are back in action this weekend, looking to bounce back from 7-2 and 3-0 defeats at the hands of Bayern Munich and Brighton and Hove Albion respectively.

When looking at the positives, though, at least the North Londoners haven’t seen any of their players pick up any injuries during their time away with their national teams, although there were certainly fears of that happening, especially with Heung-Min Son playing for South Korea away in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, for the second time in history, with the first coming in 1990 (BBC).

With Son playing in North Korea, plenty of Tottenham fans were putting the football that was being played firmly second in their priorities and were much more concerned about the well being of their man in what was always going to be an unpredictable affair playing in Pyongyang…

Those of the Spurs fans that focused more on the footballing side of things, though, were curious as to the scoreline. Son’s South Korea are the second-highest ranked Asian side in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings in 37th, whilst North Korea are much lower down the list, in 113th, with the likes of India, Libya and Palestine ahead of them, so you can understand the fans’ concerns over the scoreline…
