Don't be surprised.
Hungary vs Serbia (or Yugoslavia) in water polo is something like Brazil vs Argentina in football. Historically, the best two teams in water polo.
Hungarian water polo is rather "art", kinda jogo bonito.
On the other hand, Serbia prefers brute force and agressive strategy.
However, it's hard to say any rude words to Serbs. Girls are pretty, cuisine is excellent - they are my favorite "neighbours" on the map.
(For those who do not remember: my favorite ghost, B.olo Yeung was registered as a Serbian pipsqueak.)
Sidenote: in football, I prefer Croatia over Serbia - thanks to their "bronze" generation with Suker, Prosinecki, Jarni...
Sidenote #2: in water polo, the final of Olympic Games in Athens (2004) was the most cathartic sports experience for Hungarian people.
Hungary - Serbia 8-7 (2-3, 3-2, 0-2, 3-0)
Probably the most exciting final and the strongest HUN & SRB teams ever... Clash of Giants...
