minus-squareKnorff@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·10 months agoThe English line-up was decided by a FA committee. Every player was nominated for a certain position and had to play this position. The Hungarian line-up was decided by their coach. Especially their forwards didn´t care about positions. You can see why Hungary won and England was very confused the whole game. Extra info: The statistic was around 35:5 shots on goal for Hungary.
