70 years ago the match of the century was played between England(3) and Hungary(6). The return fixture saw Hungary trash England 7-1, England’s largest defeat to this day. (alien.top)

To this day we hold "memorials" for the 3:6 but how come 7:1 doesn't get the same treatment?

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.

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
