An anti-North Korea protester puts his foot on a soccer ball that has the image of a North Korean flag as he denounces North Korean leader Kim Jong-il at a rally held to oppose the chairman of South Korea's Football Association (KFA) Chung Mong-joon, in front of KFA's main office in Seoul March 14, 2008. Chung recently mentioned that he would support raising the North Korean flag and playing its anthem at a qualifier for the 2010 World Cup to be held in Seoul on June 22. North Korea refused to play the South's anthem or raise the flag of its neighbour for a qualifier to be held in Pyongyang on March 26, prompting FIFA to decide to move the match to Shanghai.
