a little incoherent the way you put it...Holland I guess. And I don't recall Hungary playing in this World Cup.  -------------

I'd say: the team which came the closest to win the World Cup but never won. Holland, no doubt -- 1978 final, the right post at the 90th min. when it's 1:1... |

PORTUGAL, AUSTRIA and HUNGARY in past years.

I think somewhere in 50's they were quite strong teams.
If I'm not mistaken, in 1954 Hungary were clear favourites but have lost to Germany in the final.

Germany have won the world cup. Hungary were actually a superside in the 1950s. From Wikipedia: The Magical Magyars Hungary is best known for offering the world one of the most formidable and influential sides in football history, the delivery of which revolutionized how the game would forever be played. Centered around the dynamic and potent quartet of strikers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferenc_Pusk%C3%A1s - Ferenc Puskás , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1ndor_Kocsis - Sándor Kocsis , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3zsef_Bozsik - József Bozsik and withdrawn striker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%A1ndor_Hidegkuti - Nándor Hidegkuti , the " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aranycsapat - Aranycsapat " (Hung. lit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aranycsapat - Golden Team ) of the "Magnificent Magyars", captivated the football world with an exciting brand of play drawn from new tactical nuances and amassed, barring the 1954 World Cup Final, a remarkable record of 43 victories, 7 ties, and no defeats from the 4th of June 1950 to the end of its historic unbeaten run on February 18th 1956. Hungary has the unique distinction of posting the highest ever http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elo_football_rating - Elo football rating of 2173 points in June (1954) along with the second highest with 2153 (1956); surpassing that of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team - Brazil , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_national_football_team - England , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team - Argentina and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germany_national_football_team - Germany in all-time competition. Records Hungary was the first team outside the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles - British Isles to beat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_national_football_team - England at home, famously http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_v_Hungary_%281953%29 - winning 6-3 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wembley_Stadium - Wembley on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_25 - November 25 , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1953 - 1953 . This victory had worldwide significance as it effectively ended England's 90 year old mythical reign since the creation of association football in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1863 - 1863 against all foreign sides outside the British Isles. They beat England 7-1, this time in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest - Budapest a year later, in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954 - 1954 . This is still ranks as England's record defeat. Hungary holds the longest consecutive run of matches unbeaten with 33 international games between http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_14 - 14 May http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1950 - 1950 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_4 - 4 July http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1954 - 1954 , when they lost the World Cup final to Germany. This record still is unbroken as of this writing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team - Argentina holds the second longest string when they put together a string of 31 unbeaten matches from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991 - 1991 to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993 - 1993 .
