^^^^Yep, not sure what's happened. Austria were white & black, Hungary were red & white, with a bit of green on their socks.

love how much it means to them, it's what football is about and Eastern European football has taken a battering in the past couple of decades with the greed and monopoly of Western Europe at club level.

Hungary beat someone 10-1 in the 1982 World Cup Finals.
For what it's worth (very little no doubt) I went for a 3-1 Austrian win in my pre-tournament predictions. My correct score predictions aren't doing too brilliantly, however I'm 7 from 10 on correct results so an Austrian win is looking favourite!
Errr...

Its certainly a good argument for an expanded tournament. Austria easily better than Hungary in qualifying but tides are turned when it matters.

That was probably their best win in about 30 years.

Combined with the collapse of communism, under which many teams were state backed.

Austria, like Belgium, looked like a team that hadn't prepared properly together and thus were sluggish and slow and thus very easy for Hungary to deal with.
Could cost them their tournament spot now because I fancy Iceland to give the Portuguese a game and I think the group will be extremely tight now Austria have stumbled.

Isn't Bilic a breath of fresh air, compared to the usual suspects on TV (CG, little Michael, Glennda, Wor Alan, "Wrighty" etc etc)? He actually gives the impression that he knows what he's talking about.

Him and Bellamy have been superb pundits so far. Its a shame they usually go for a big name like Camel Gob or play if safe with a Lee Dixon who offer absolutely no insight.
