(ROUGH CUT ONLY - NO REPORTER NARRATION) North Korea's Olympic women's soccer team walked off the pitch before Wednesday's (July 25) match against Colombia after the South Korea flag was incorrectly displayed on a giant screen at Glasgow's Hampden Park stadium. The Group G game was delayed for over an hour after images of the North Korea players were displayed beside the South Korea flag and London Olympics organisers had to issue an apology. Hampden Park media manager Andy Mitchell told Reuters the South Korean flag was shown in a video package on the screen before the kickoff. North Korea's correct flag was displayed later after organisers made a full apology for what they called a "genuine mistake".
