| The caipirinha is a no-brainer for Brazil -- a beloved and authentic drink that tastes like a samba band and smells like a beach party. We know everything we need to know about Brazil, or at least we know what they drink and how they party and how they play soccer. On the other hand, we know very little about North Korea -- the team is a mystery, and we know little about daily life in the country. All we get are the cute, bizarre, chilling, puzzling details about North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Il. While his people go without, Kim lives the high life which, according to this CNN report, includes many bottles of "a certain Hennessey cognac that sells for $630 a bottle in Korea." That's got to be Hennessy Paradis, which currently goes $600-plus a bottle. Yes, for the price of a computer you too can drink like the dear diminutive dictator. |

| It's the most famous team in the world against the most mysterious team in the tournament. Brazil is Brazil, they have many weapons and can score in a hurry. North Korea? The team is ranked 105th in the world and hasn't competed in an international tournament since 1992. Brazil should win easily, but we have no idea how it will transpire. |
