In football its is a widespread belief that in order to be remembered you need to win silverware.

Hungary of that time is one of the exceptions to that rule.

Honestly the Hungary team that lost the 54 final is more famous than the Germany team that won it.

That Hungary team only lost one match between 1951 and 1956... the 1954 World Cup final
