North Korea's football players had some good luck rice cakes before going into their country's first World Cup match in 44 years.
The pro-Pyongyang, Japan-based Choson Sinbo newspaper reported Tuesday that the team chef prepared traditional rice cakes for the team the previous night.
The rice cakes, known as ``dduk'' (DUCK), are eaten in both Koreas on special occasions and holidays.
North Korea is making it first World Cup appearance since 1966 with an opening game against Brazil at Ellis Park.
