Football Fanats 2009

There are some great news, but let's start with the bad one. Kazincbarcikai SC seems to be in big trouble, they had a very long losing streak. That's not a surprise, because the team is too weak for the second division at the moment. I know a man who are in contact with the team, and he didn't want to talk about if there would be any money for strenghtening the lineup. I guess it is the direct way to the third level of Hungarian football. Last time, we beat Baktalórántháza 3-2, so we are lying in 13th place at the moment...

After losing to Sweden and Portugal, Hungary played a great game in Denmark. We were close to victory last year at home, as well, but this time, with a great tactical play and a lucky goal, we were able to win. Denmark-Hungary 0-1. We collected 16 points in such a strong group, it's a pity that it was only enough for 4th position. Improving, much better than EURO 2008 qualifiers.

The U20 national team is playing for bronze medal on the world championships. It isn't a big suprise, they were 5th on the U17 ECH 3 years ago, and bronze medalist on the U19 ECH last year. The team is full of very talented players, who might rise Hungarian football back to the best. For a long time, this is the biggest success in Hungarian football.
Results:
Honduras-Hungary 3-0
Hungary-South Africa 4-0
Hungary-United Arabian Emirates 2-0
Group placement: 1st
Last 16: Hungary-Czech Rep. 2-2, Hungary won on penalties
Quarter final: Hungary-Italy 3-2 after extra time
Semi final: Ghana-Hungary 3-2
Bronze match: Hungary-Costa Rica today

Yes, it was hard but we made it... Funny thing, we won for the first time for qualifiers in Uruguay and last Argentinian victory there was in '76 in a friendly match.

I couldn't imagine a World Cup without Argentina... But I'm seriously worried about your performance there if Maradona doesn't really get his shit together. I hope we get in the same group (if Arg is 1st seed, that is...)

[Chulk]

So far we are 1st seed

It's funny to see how Germany lost 1 position (4th to 5th) while the first 4th kept their position... they probably were tied with Italy.

Lothar Mathaus is the new coach of Racing Club de Avellaneda! ^_^.

Very interesting! (I guess Hungarians and Brazilians will have quite different perceptions on this announcement)

Well, he decided not to be...

Hungarian Cup, 1/8 final:

Szolnoki MÁV (Division 2, Group East)–Budapesti Honvéd (Division 1) 4–1. Return match this week.

Amazing result; forever Szolnoki MÁV!

Honvéd - Szolnok 3-0 ("Rosszul fogadtál...")

[CTG]

Btw...

Bácsa FC - Felpéc 1-1, even if Felpéc has lot better series at the moment.

[Usrin]

Honvéd - Szolnok 3-0 ("Rosszul fogadtál...")

Dirty NB1.hu, they still don't have the result of the return match in their database, so I totally missed that.
And unfortunately we can't take a revenge in the championship... For the next season, Honvéd will be relegated to the 2nd Division, while Szolnok (future champion of Group East) will follow in the 1st Division. What a pity!
