Football fans in North Korea 'told their team will play Portugal in World Cup final'
It is a country known for being a bit fanciful with the truth.

However, even by North Korea’s standards, this news report seems quite remarkable.

This video appears to show the secretive country's state controlled media telling football fans that its national team has reached the World Cup final.

And, as reported by Metro, the report states the team has done so in style by beating Japan 7-0, USA 4-0 and China 2-0.

Most of us with settle down tomorrow night to watch a hopefully entertaining final between Germany and Argentina.

But according to this TV report, North Korea will instead take on Portugal. That would be quite remarkable when you consider that North Korea didn't even qualify for the tournament.

The video shows highlights from old matches and even shows leader Kim Jong-un appearing on a screen in one of Brazil's fan zones, much to the delight of a cheering crowd.

However, North Korea expert are convinced the video is a FAKE.

One said: "It looks like somebody has edited together random bits of news archive."
