Euro 2016 Group F Preview and Predictions for Hungary

Our final take on the upcoming proceedings surrounding Group F at Euro 2016 this summer involves a closer look at the former footballing powerhouse that is Hungary, and everything Bernd Storck’s team can expect to achieve at the fast approaching competition…

 

Chances of success:

Without wanting to cast this team aside before really giving them a fair crack at the whip among this summer’s highly anticipated tournament, Hungary ultimately stand very little chance of making it through to the knock-out stages at Euro 2016 when all is said and done.

Although this nation once proudly represented one of the most formidable outfits upon the entire global scene, Hungary have ultimately failed to build upon their early dominance whatsoever within the modern era. Coming out as anything other than distinct whipping-boys of Group F therefore remains somewhat unlikely in the cold light of day.

 

Ones to watch:

Although most of Storck’s first team squad seemingly find themselves operating exclusively within the domestic Hungarian game, former PSV and Dynamo Moscow winger – Balazs Dzsudzsak – will certainly go down as Hungary’s most prominent star operating at Euro 2016 this summer.

Via his direct nature down the flanks, strong positional play inside the final third and keen eye for goal whenever played through in one-on-one situations, this is one player who could theoretically find himself on the end of a rather illustrious summer move if all goes well enough for Hungary at Euro 2016.

 

From the dug-out:

As Hungary have seen a succession of experimental managers take helm throughout their initial qualification into Euro 2016 itself, Bernd Storck hardly arrives with a great deal of pedigree among his summer managerial counterparts it has to be said. Such a case in point should ultimately fail to deter Hungary this summer however, as we all know that anything is possible upon the ever competitive international scene.

 

Hungary’s Euro 2016 predictions:

With each of Portugal, Austria and Iceland each looking to implement themselves as best as possible among Group F this summer, Hungary certainly stand very little chance of turning many heads at Euro 2016. Whichever way you look at it, Bernd Storch’s determined outfit clearly have a great deal of work on their hands if they really want to cause one or two meaningful upsets within the hotly anticipated summer faceoff.

Even the most optimistic of Hungarian football fans would seemingly have to agree with all things fairly considered, for despite the admittedly unpredictable nature of the modern international game, Balazs Dzsudzsak and co. arguably represent the greatest set of under-dogs on offer among Euro 2016 this summer.
