Their decision of playing the North Koreans was reportedly based on the fact that the Greeks are aiming to prepare against an opposition similar to South Korea against whom they'll be playing in Group B. Greece had an awful campaign in the 1994 World Cup where they were drawn with Argentina and Nigeria but then crashed out with no point at all.
Greece vs Korea DPR should offer knowledge to both sides who will have moutains to overcome during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Once again, Greece will meet Argentina and Nigeria whereas Korea DPR will face the great task of upseting favorites Brazil and strong sides Portugal and Cote d'Ivoire.
Certainly, neither the Greeks nor the North Koreans will want to reveal tactical and technical secrets. However, it will be important for each team to try and get the right result. Korea DPR are yet to win a single friendly match in 2010. Their best results were draws against Venezuela and South Africa. Greece, meanwhile, have test themselves only once since qualifying for the finals. The result was a shocking 2-0 defeat against Senegal.
