- The number “96” is important in Hungary. Arpad was chosen as first king of the Magyars and the beginning of the Hungarian state in A.D. 896. To celebrate Hungary’s millennial anniversary in 1896, the first metro was built in Budapest. By law, the highest buildings in Budapest can be no taller than 96 feet high, and the Hungarian national anthem takes 96 seconds to sing, if done at proper tempo.

[Correction]
- (Source) Sándor Péter Kocsis was the top goal scorer in the 1954 World Cup with 11 goals, being the first player to score two hat tricks in a World Cup. During the 1950s, along with Ferenc Puskás, Zoltán Czibor, József Bozsik and Nándor Hidegkuti, he was a member of the Mighty Magyars.

Very nice country!
Rossz a térkép pubi!
Az a rész nincs benne amit elloptatok.
Hi, I couldn't fully translate your message, talking about a map?
"Your map is wrong! I can't see the part you stole."
😐
Got it! Thanks!

Erdély belongs to Hungary, for example... Your map is wrong.
Most miért kell ezt.Evvel semmi nem oldódik meg,sőt csak rosszabb lesz és nem neked vagy nekem ha nem a kinti magyaroknak.
S azzal megoldódik valami ha meghunyászkodsz?
Ennél rosszabb már nem lehet.
Harcoljatok ti is minden fórumon.
Nem szabad hallgatni.
Very nice ! v. missing more images of the lake Balaton 🙂
You and your nation, your MU the FAR are not the friend of the Hungarians.
You are murders, robbers, enemies of the Hungarians since ages.
Rl and here in the erep too.
You, with this flag, with this avatar is no place among Hungarians.
Never.
The shame belongs to those who support enemies.
They are not Hungarians.
Max. they speak Hungarian.
I did not wanted to reply in previous article but you insists.
There was a military coup organized some months ago by a Romanian military unit, I won't name it.
FAR military units' member received the recommendation not to fight against Hungary. More than that our commander provided combat order on Hungarian side to support Hungary against Romanian military coup. He received a lot of hard criticism but it was his decision.
So stop falsely troll my articles!!!
U can't make him stop.
Impossible.
Someone even made a chrome extension that removes his comments from articles.
Someone even created a message generator with his style! Amazing, huh? 😃
He's not known for being open to reason (or common sense, for that matter). Best strategy is to continue ignoring him 🙂
Van itt pár a jetICSicskát és a fáker mobrát, meg persze a románok bérén tartott kápókat ias megszégyenítő, alaposan beépólt román kém is, aki magyar jelmezben játszik a román barátjaiért:

Ez meg a magyarokat FAR jelmezben gyilkolászó román barátja:

Csodáljátok meg a szépséges FAR avatarját és emlékezzetek rá, mekkora barátai ők 7 éve a magyaroknak az erepen és párszáz éve RL!
Micsoda égés!
De van még lejjebb is:

Felénk az ellenség, az ellenség és nem cimborálunk vele.
Sem játákból, sem RL.
Országrablókkal, magyargyilksokkal még játékból sem.
RL még kevésbé.
[removed]
In my opinion the nemies are enemies and friend are friend.
You and your nation are not friend of our nation, nore in RL and nore in erep.
All other words are lies.
Ehelso: I respect your opinion, I also said that in my previous article.
All the best from my side!
Intelligent. 😉

Román magyar két jó barát....
Bocsi.
Elvétettem, mint oly sok jeticsicska itt.
Ez a régi kedves rigmus a lenygelekról szól, nem az oláh bocskosros rablókról, gyilksookról, Magyarország megcsonkítóiról, magyarok gyilkosairól.
Nice article, nevertheless you made some mistake abount Puskás:
He participated in one World Football Championship, in 1954, where Hungary got second place after Germany. The top scorer of the Championship was Sandor Kocsis with 11 goals, Puskas scored only 4 goals, out of which one goal in the lost final.
The all time record number of goals scored in one World Championship is held by Just Fontaine, who scored 13 goals in 1958.
All time aggregate record belongs to Miroslav Klose, 16 goals achieved in 4 World Championships. (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014)
Thanks. I will correct.
I've corrected the fact. I hope it is correct now.
