"Hungary humiliated England". We show you what the English papers wrote after our sensational 4-0 victory.
"Hungary really beat England," says the BBC. – It is the first time since 2014 that the English national team has not won any of its four consecutive matches, and it is disturbing that, as the World Cup approaches, neither its form nor its confidence are the same. England was unable to do more than accept the humiliating and probably devastating defeat, after which fans not only whistled, but also demanded the sacking of Gareth Southgate. (…) England could already find out that in the first match
Marco Rossi built a versatile, hard-to-beat Hungarian national team.
After 1-0 in the first match, the Hungarians showed again with colorful and precise football that there was no question of faking it (in Budapest). And if Southgate's job could be in danger after such a performance, it is clear that Rossi's star is still on the rise, as he has built a Hungarian team capable of competing with the best in the world."
"Hungary humiliated England"
"Hungary humiliated the unfortunate English national team," reports SkySports. – The national team played football in a completely disorganized way, and it is not inconceivable that it will be eliminated from the first division. More worryingly, his form is letting him down in a World Cup year. Four matches without a win, with one goal - also from the penalty spot. Here
it is not a derailment, but a historic collapse, the heaviest domestic defeat of the last ninety-four years."
"Hungary humiliated England, which suffered its heaviest domestic defeat in the last ninety-four years - the Guardian also reminds us of the 1:5 defeat against the Scots. "What a breakdown." The English captain knew that after the far from convincing start to the League of Nations, only a victory could restore calm. What he got instead was a worrying new low: the heaviest defeat of his nearly six-year captaincy, the biggest defeat in the last ninety-four years of English football, and a rebellion in the ranks of the fans.
"Angry English fans turned against Southgate after the four-goal humiliation," says The Telegraph. – The triple whistle was drowned in boos, England ended their participation in the League of Nations without a win or an action goal. The composition of Southgate's squad and tactics raise questions, but so does the timing of these matches, as tired players had to play four games in June at the end of a long season. There is no international football until September, which England cannot be grateful enough for.”
The Hungarians deserved both victories
“Fans took their anger out on Southgate after the formidable Three Lions suffered their heaviest home defeat since 1928 - per The Sun. "Yeah, it's exactly as bad as it looks." It was the fourth time in eleven days that the opponent was better than Gareth Southgate's team, the Hungarians fully deserved to beat last summer's European Championship finalists back and forth. England haven't scored a goal in action in four games and haven't had such a long winless streak in eight years."
"They made a goulash out of England," Mail Online announces in its headline. – The Three Lions slipped into a humiliating defeat, the visitors scored three goals in the last twenty minutes. There were fans who burst into chants of "You'll be fired in the morning" after seeing the embarrassing domestic production. This will not happen, Gareth Southgate's credit as captain has not yet run out, he will have the opportunity to find an explanation for what happened and give an answer to whether the English national team has a realistic chance of winning the World Cup this year. What is certain: this evening in Wolverhampton will not pass without a trace. Make no mistake:
fear and doubt remain with us."
