The
Hungary national football team represents Hungary
in
international football and is
controlled by the Hungarian Football
Federation. It has a rich and proud pedigree in the game
and a rightful place in football annals as one of the first
original footballing nations in continental Europe and an innovator
in the sport in the 1950s. In recent times the team's strength has
diminished greatly, failing to qualify for any major tournament
since 1986. Notable though, is that the country's team qualified
for the 2009 Egypt U20 World Cup amd lost 2 games in the whole
tournament: their first game against Honduras in the group stages
and the semi-final of the tournament against Ghana, to which
Hungary lost 2-3. However, they beat Costa Rica in the losing
semi-finalists match, which earned them 3rd place in the
tournament. Also notable is that the Hungarian team has one of the
longest unbeaten runs in international football at 32.
The Golden Team (aka The Magical Magyars)
Hungarian football is best known for being one of the most
formidable and influential sides in football history, which
revolutionized the play of the game. Centered around the dynamic
and potent quartet of strikers
Ferenc
Puskás,
Sándor Kocsis,
attacking half-back
József Bozsik
and withdrawn striker
Nándor
Hidegkuti, the "
Aranycsapat"
(
Golden Team) of the "
Magnificent Magyars", captivated the
football world with an exciting brand of play drawn from new
tactical nuances and amassed, barring the 1954 World Cup Final, a
remarkable record of 43 victories, 7 ties, and no defeats from the
14th of May 1950 to the end of its historic unbeaten run on
February 19th 1956. Hungary has the distinction of posting the
highest ever
Elo football rating
of 2173 points in June (1954) along with the second highest with
2153 (1956); surpassing that of
Brazil,
England,
Argentina and
Germany in all-time
competition.
The Hungarians were runners-up twice in the
World Cup, losing to
Italy 4–2 in
1938 and 3–2 to
West Germany in
1954, despite defeating them 8–3
earlier in the competition.
The team, built around the legendary Ferenc Puskás, led early 2–0 in that
match, but ended up 3–2 losers in a game the Germans
subsequently
christened "The Miracle of Bern
".
Three highly controversial calls surround this final game: firstly
when Grosics (the Hungarian goalkeeper) was interfered with in the
goal area by Hans Schaefer on the second German goal, second when
Puskas apparently equalized the match in the 89th minute only to
have the goal disallowed for offside, the third being a blatant
foul on Kocsis in the penalty area which would have given Hungary a
penalty in the final minute.
Hungary has won gold at the
Olympics
three times, in
1952,
1964, and
1968. The under-23 team, which was the
age limit for Olympic teams, won the
UEFA U-23
Championship in 1974. Since the 1976 reshuffle by UEFA, the
under-23s are now classified with the
under-21s.
Records
The match
between Austria and
Hungary in Vienna
in 1902 was
the first international match played between two non-British
European countries.
Hungary
was the first team from outside the United Kingdom
and Ireland
to beat
England at home,
famously winning 6–3 at
Wembley
on November 25, 1953. Six months later they
beat England 7–1 in 1954, this
time in Budapest
. This
still ranks as England's record defeat.
The trainer responsible for gelling together the elements of the
Hungarian side on the 1950s,
Gusztáv
Sebes holds the highest ratio of victories per game past 30
matches with 72.06% (49 wins, 12, draws, 7 defeats). Brazil great
Vicente Feola (1955-1966) owns the second highest with 71.88% (46
wins, 12 draws, 6 defeats).
Hungary owns records for quality in offensive throughput in a
single World Cup finals competition. Football historians often
relate to the 27 goals (5.4 gls / game) and a goal differential of
+17 as records likely never to be passed in the more preventive
modern game. Sandor Kocsis, along with his record seven
hat tricks in the international game, owns the
single World Cup finals competition's record with 2.2
goals/match.
Hungary has a unique distinction for setting the strongest
Elo football rating ever recorded with
2173 points (June 1954) to add to the second highest of 2156 in
1956.
Brazil national football team owns the
2nd highest with 2153, and
Argentina national
football team with 2117 is third.
Undefeated run
Hungary, with its this master narrative of being undefeated in the
1950s also broke one of football's timeless benchmarks being first
to eclipse an 1888
Scotland national football
team record of being undefeated in 22 consecutive matches. They
bettered the old mark by nine additional games to 31. Hungary holds
the third longest consecutive run of matches unbeaten with 31
international games between 14 May 1950 and 4 July 1954, when they
lost the World Cup final to Germany.
Spain holds the longest
string of 35 unbeaten matches (from 2006 till 2009), which recently
ended at the hands of the United States, whom defeated Spain 2–0 in
the 2009 Confederations Cup semi-final of the in South Africa on
June 24, 2009 - breaking Hungary's record after 55 years.
After the Golden Team
Hungary remained a force in European football for two to three
decades after the era of the "Magnificent Magyars". Reaching the
quarter-finals of both 1962 and 1966 World Cups, Hungary was
blessed with a dazzling array of talent including
Ferenc Sipos,
Lajos
Tichy,
Ferenc Bene,
Flórián Albert,
János Farkas,
Gyula Rákosi,
Zoltán Varga,
János Göröcs,
Károly Sándorand
Máté Fenyvesi. They also reached the
semi-finals of the European Championship in 1964 and 1972.
Returning to the World Cup in 1978 and 1982, Hungary did not reach
the same heights but nonetheless performed respectably—indeed, the
talents of
László Fazekas,
Tibor Nyilasiand
László Kissinspired
Hungary to a 10–1 win over El Salvador in 1982, which remains a
World Cup record.The 1986 World Cup is seen by many fans as the
final confirmation of Hungary's decline. Expectations were very
high, but poor performances in defeats to the Soviet Union and
France were a bitter blow, despite the presence of talent like
Lajos Détári. Since then,
Hungary has continued to produce fine individual talent- notably
Béla Illésand
Krisztián Lisztes– but further
success as a team has eluded them.
Most recently, in
Euro 2004qualifiers,
Hungary found themselves within sight of qualification with two
games remaining, but was scuppered by defeats to Latvia and
Poland.
With the appointment of
Erwin Koemanthe
Hungarians had high hopes for the
2010
World Cupqualifiers. However, a good start turned to a
disappointing finish with Hungary ending up fourth in Group One
after Denmark, Portugal and Sweden.
Modern times
Today, Hungary are a lesser force and haven't qualified for a
World Cupsince 1986, or for the
European Championship
finalssince 1972.
They finished 2nd in their group behind Greece.
1–2 Finland (in Finland)

The same thing happened in the
World Cup 2002
qualifiers, when they trailed after Italy, Romania and
Georgia, and in the
Euro 2004
qualifiers, where they were surpassed by
Sweden,
Latviaand
Poland. In the
World Cup 2006
qualifiersthey finished fourth after
Croatia, Sweden and
Bulgaria. The
Euro 2008
qualifiersdid not provide much cheer, as they ended sixth in
their group, even dropping a match to unfancied
Malta.
On August 22, 2007,
they surprisingly upset world champions Italy in a friendly game,
beating them 3–1 at Puskás Ferenc Stadium
in Budapest.This resulted in Hungary becoming the
Unofficial Football
World Champions.
