Basically the womans North Korean team walked off when they shown the south korean flag next to their names before the match. They came back after they reshown every player with the correct flag.

Coincidence that South and North Korea drawn in tennis for round one, should be interesting :)

I heard about this but didn't see it wish I did though ;(

"Welcome to Great Britain! :D"

How on earth did they make that mistake? The two are similar by name but you would think they would of checked through all the details. Not going to help the tensions between the countries, and that's one strike for things to go wrong :P

Its just like us to mess it up though!

LOL shut up guys
but yeah, very disrespectful considering their circumstances with one another. not even an easy mistake to make. if i was mistaken as english (god forbid) especially while at war against them, then i'd be fairly pissed off and offended too.
surprised i haven't heard "so what, they're the same anyway"..

I'm waiting for something to go wrong with Argentina. The Star Wars Imperial March theme would be amazing for when the Argentine flag bearer enters the stadium during the opening ceremony.

Heard on the news that in Kuwait, someone had put on the Borat theme tune instead of the Kazakhstan national anthem. Who was more embarrassed?
