It doesn't matter. "The match of the Century" was won by Hungary in 1953 (6:3). It was the very first time that England's Lions were defeated (in front of a huge home crowd).

@TONYSPURSMAN sorry, i meant to state at wembley... think they played somewhere else versus republic of ireland...

[TONYSPURSMAN]

@junkybabes Eire wasnt a british when there beat England ok

[czikimarci]

Hehh... that was not a penalty... clearly the ball... grat reff, nice work... stupid blind dog... England is a strong country, Hungary not, so that was a penalty for England. My question, at a same situation, the reffree give a penalty for us? NOT NOT NOT NOT...

[junkybabes]

@Hungary2333 not first time they were defeated, it was the first time they lost at home to a non-british (i.e welsh, irish and scottish) side...

@vidlivs !

The Stephans-crown was a present from the papst in the year 1000.

How much money have you payed for the crown that belongs to your queens?

If you have such a clean hands, how could you bring all the peoples (indiens, pakistans, aboriginies, philippines,... ) that they give you their land, and all the gold the british peoples could find?

[SimonDolan]

I`m English but that was clearly not a penalty.
