| | World Cup 1954 |
 | | In 1953 this team became the first non-British side to defeat England in England, by the more than convincing score line of six-three; a superiority more than underlined by a crushing seven-one win in Budapest in 1954, the worst defeat England has ever suffered, and, demoralisingly for England, before the World Cup had begun. |
 | | Hungary and Brazil were arguably the two best sides in the world at the time, thus many a fan of football would have turned up for a feast, only to witness a brawl, from which neither side emerged with any credit. |
 | | At first it looked as though Hungary would overrun Uruguay, helped, apparently, by the heavy rain earlier in the day; for the Magyars scored in the opening quarter of an hour as a result of A Kocsis header to Czibor which was blasted into the back of the net. |
