Hungary’s legendary Golden Team became listed as the very best football team ever

Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes that the BBC and the super computer (SAM) of Salford University compiled a list of the 10 most successful national football teams of all time, where the Hungarian Golden Team can be found on the top.

About the process BBC Sport writes that “taking into account a range of factors – including goals scored, goals conceded, the strength of the opposition faced and whether or not results were achieved in major tournaments – we have come up with the top 10 teams of all time.” Also, the super computer analysed the biggest success achieved and the results in the years before and after that success.

Thus, it turned out that Hungary’s Puskás-led Golden Team is ranked on the very top of the list, showing the “greatest team in history of international football”. In the Hungarian national teams’ career the era of 1953-55 was chosen as the best; they won, for example, a silver medal at the World Championships (1954) and defeated England for 6-3 in London’s Wembley.
