JOHANNESBURG (AP) -- The North Korean coach wasn't happy with reporters' questions on the eve of the team's opening World Cup match against Brazil.Coach Kim Jong Hun bristled Monday when a South Korean reporter speaking in Korean referred to his nation as "North Korea" -- rather than by the country's official name, the Democratic Republic of Korea.
"There's no such country named 'North Korea,"' he said testily at a news conference at Ellis Park Stadium. "Next question."
Kim was also asked whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Il had a say in the team selection. The FIFA media official cut the reporter off, reminding journalists not to ask political questions.

The official also diverted a question about whether North Korea's games would be aired live in the North.
North Korea plays Brazil on Tuesday in their first-ever matchup.
