Scotland first beat England in 1877 and were the first team to beat them at Wembley. Wales and Ireland (original Ireland football team for the entire island) both beat England multiple times in England before 1953 but Hungary were the first continental European team to beat England in England which is why it’s so well known.
Because that was the first time England lost a game at home. The second time it happened they already knew England was bad and Hungary was very good.
*First time England lost at Wembley
Actually Ireland was the first team to beat England at home. September 1949. 2-0 at Goodison Park.
Doesn’t quite fit the narrative that they could only be beaten by the exotic Mighty Magyars though.
Playing against Ireland in Liverpool is an away game for England
😂😂

It wasn’t. It was the first home game they lost to a team from the European continent though.
I know what you mean, but genuinely that England team weren’t ‘bad’, Hungary were that good.
