North Korea Olympic football team refuses to play after wrong flag shown.
A South Korean flag was reportedly displayed on a screen before kick-off. They are due to face Columbia.

TV news was almost as funny - they said the South Korean national anthem had been played.
edit to add :
The Ladies have now agreed to kick off - its the women's football team.
The North Korean women's football team have walked off the pitch at Hampden Park in Glasgow in a row over flags.
The action was apparently in protest at the South Korean flag being mistakenly displayed beside players' names on a screen prior to their Olympic football match.
Kick-off had been scheduled for 19:45. It was later re-scheduled for 21:00.
