There is only one Gabor Kiraly. But
hopefully the great man between the sticks has more than one pair of his
trademark grey trackies, as he was required to pull off a series of saves to
keep his side in the Championships. Imagine the green stains, the muddy
patches. Nightmare without a high temperature wash.
And he was called into action frequently
against Belgium, his saves keeping the scoreline down to four.
But Hungary had overachieved just to reach
the knockouts, and were unlucky that winning their group meant playing Belgium,
who finished second to Italy in their group.
Hungary were unbeaten, and exciting to
watch, especially during their classic 3-3 draw with Portugal which is still the best
game of the tournament so far.
So welcome back to major championships,
Hungary, and it was great to see Gabor again.
