70 years ago the match of the century was played between England(3) and Hungary(6). The return fixture saw Hungary trash England 7-1, England’s largest defeat to this day. (alien.top)

To this day we hold "memorials" for the 3:6 but how come 7:1 doesn't get the same treatment?

Because that was the first time England lost a game at home. The second time it happened they already knew England was bad and Hungary was very good.

It wasn't. It was the first home game they lost to a team from the European continent though.
