North Korea's Jong Tae Se has his biggest supporter in the stadium for the World Cup match against Brazil: his mother.
Ri Jong Gum was in the stands at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg to watch her 26-year-old son play for North Korea.
Ri said during halftime that ``I'm very proud - I think he's playing extremely well.''
Ri had ``Win! Chollima team!'' written on her forehead and a blanket stitched with her son's name in Korean on her lap.
