World Cup squad
Hungary 1954
Ferenc Puskás at 96
Gusztáv Sebes·3-4-2-1
91OVR
Sebes' Mighty Magyars. Hidegkuti dropping off, Puskás and Kocsis finishing, Bozsik conducting — the side that rewrote attacking football and still left Bern without the trophy.
People open this squad and immediately queue Brazil 1970. That pairing is a rivalry in the catalogue, not a historical fixture unless the years actually met.
