From the September 1978 issue of the Socialist Standard
"In the World Cup, Hungary were grouped with their bogey-team, the Soviet Union."
From the programme for the recent England v. Hungary soccer international at Wembley.

I remember once spending a fruitless hour trying to find this wee snippet 'cos I was so tickled by it's gallows humour. I was convinced I'd seen it in a Standard from around 1986 . . . basically 'cos the Soviet Union had pumped Hungary 6-0 at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Turns out I was wrong.
Soviet Union 6-0 Hungary World Cup 1986
