    If they'd had Euro 56 this would have been the final - Hungary v France

    Hard to see anything but a win for France, but I'd like to see Hungary cause an upset. They were handed the impossible draw in this group and were really unlucky at the end against Portugal.

    Non block-colour kits! Even if I would prefer red v blue.

      Any other country, perhaps, but don't give a fig for Hungary.

        The last of the early kick-off games that I can get to watch live at a decent time. Looking forward to this one.

          France should be wearing green and white stripes.

            Thread title: I think England were a useful side in 1956, with the Busby players.

            Hungary lost to Czechoslovakia 4-2 at home in the forerunner of of the Nations Cup on 20.5.56.

              Even then, they pretty much averaged their modern WC performances - the occasional QF, but more often going out in playoffs (last 12).

                They had a decent season in 1955-56, losing only to Wales, but beating Brazil, Germany, Spain, Finland, Denmark and N. Ireland, some by decent margins. France (and Portugal) both beat them in the previous season though.

                  Conditions seem too hot here - game may get very slow.

                    Like in 1978? With random numbers on the back as well.

                      It's 31° in Budapest and we've already lost Sallai who basically collapsed from heat exhaustion

                      It's an exciting game but France have been incredibly profligate in front of goal

                                Turned on just before the Hungary goal. The reel of France misses at half time was quite something.

                                      France rattled, I’d say.

                                      Then we’d have to miss the second half in order for the BBC to cut to a live edition of The Good Life.

                                          The difference is the French far right don't like the football team. and it's not being used by a fascist leader to stir up a racist and homophobic national narrative.,
