1954 World Cup. West Germany lost to Hungary 8-3 in group stage. In World Cup Final: Hungary would race to a two goal lead within 8 minutes. Germany would recover to win 3-2 and Hungary with one of the greatest teams of all time, were unbeaten for 30+ games would fade out to become an insignificant team that rarely makes World Cups. 60 years on Hungary still mourn the loss of the 1954 World Cup. Germany would go on to win 1974 and 1990 World Cup Finals and lose four World Cup Finals in 66', 82', 86' and 2002.
