If you don't like the call just beat up the referee!

Members of the North Korean women’s football team resorted to kicking and other physical attacks on a referee in the Women's Asian Cup semi-final on Thursday. Three of the players were barred from Sunday's match for third place against Japan as a result.

But that was not the end to the melee, as North Korean reserve players on the bench then sprung up and tried to intercept the referee. The Chinese press conceded the violence was rooted in a clear mistake by the referee.

Geeeeze. Looking at the picture in the story, I'm just wondering if the players are actually all female. Kind of reminds me of the old East German female olympic teams.
