EURO 2024 TEAM GUIDE - Hungary: Belief is back after going unbeaten since 2022
Hungary come into Euro 2024 as the darkest of horses.
This is their best shot at a deep tournament run in decades, with a beloved coach, a well-drilled unit, and sprinkles of stardust.
The Magyarok are on a 14-game unbeaten streak stretching back to September 2022. Their last tournament, the 2022-23 Nations League, saw them beat England twice - including a 4-0 trouncing at Molineux - defeat Germany once, and finish second in a group also containing reigning European champions Italy.
Manager: Marco Rossi
Star Man: Dominik Szoboszlai
Tournament history: Third place (1964)

Now it feels like the Euros
Good afternoon and welcome to the first of three live blogs we have for today's slate of Euro 2024 games. This, for me at least, is when a major tournament comes alive.
We kick things off with the intriguing clash between Hungary and Switzerland at the Cologne Stadium. Off the back of Germany's hammering of Scotland on opening night, both these teams will be desperate not to lose.
A draw here and wins against Scotland would probably see both these sides progress to the latter stages. But enough of that forward planning for now. Today, we've got a host of players that will be familiar to Premier League fans and teams that will fancy their chances of going deep.
Ahead of kick-off, we'll have updates, quotes from the bosses and plenty of images of the atmosphere down in Germany. Make sure you stay with us when the action gets underway at 2pm, as we'll be taking you through all the events of what we hope will be a thrilling game!
