If you click on this link, you will get a Hungarian news article, but just see and click through the slides/photos... this is the restored, last remaining armoured monitor (river navy gunboat), built in 1871 under the Austro-Hungarian monarchy days, along the lines of the Civil War Union's Monitor ship (low lying, armoured gunship). This is the work of my cousin András Margitay-Becht in Hungary who worked tirelessly for 20 years to fund and get this done. Now the ship rest in its final honor place in the riverfront in fron of the Hungarian Parliament..

Utolsó megjegyzésem miután az idegek egy kicsit csillapottak. Sajnos jó éreztem a bajt hetekkel sõt hónapokkal ezelött (Brazil foci). Központosítva, 3 pont ill. hiányosság:

1. Tehetség hiány (de ezt lehet pótolni a jó szervezéssel..)
2. Pszihológiai készületlenség (teljes)
3. Ideg gyöngesség, egyényi és kolektiv: vagyis, ha baj van, hogyan lehet reagálni

Ennyi... sok munka van elöttünk (mármint a CBF, brazil stábnak és szervezetnek)

ENG: the damage today after this disaster (1:7) is seemingly irreparable. In reality Germany should not be 6x better than any Brazilian team, but it was today. Not only did this result embarrassed us as a football nation, but in a mere 90 minutes destroyed, smashed, obliterated 50 years of beautiful Brazilian football tradition, glory, results (5 stars!). This "team" if that is what that was caused damage not ONLY to our reputation, but to also people like me, my sport partners in Brasil, Hungary and worldwide who seek to teach, inspire with the examples of the "beautiful game". You have no idea the damage... Losing would have been acceptable, yes, but looking like the Keystone Cops?? Nothing justifies this. I expected a drop off in performance and talent for some years, but this? This does not take away the hard work of thousands of workers, volunteers who made the scenery in the stadia so memorable, fans having fun, being cordial to each other.. The Cup itself is a success and we should be proud. Now the government? Not so much...

(hun): Ami ma történt Braziliával NEM lehet tárgyilagosan kezelni! (90 perc alatt (sõt kevesebb idõ alatt) sikerült ennek a szsánalmas, sz__ "válogatottnak" lerombolni és széttaposni 50 év szép brazil hagyományt és eredményeket. A kár mérhetetlen, nem csak a hírünknek (mert brazil is vagyok), hanem olyan kárt tett olyanoknak mint nekem, meg magyar és brazil ifjúsági foci sportársaimnak akik azzal foglalkoznak hogy a brazil stílust tanítják, terjesztik, ihletik. Most mit csináljunk?

(port): em menos de 90 minutos esta "seleção" m____ consegui arrombar, destruir e triturar 50 belos anos de tradição, inspiração, ensinando o mundo o jogo bonito! O dano é irreparável não só para a reputação do futebol brasileiro, como para gente com eu, e meus sócios na Europa e Brasil que trabalham com o intercâmbio de jovens jogadores no mundo afora! Com que cara a gente vai aparecer na Europa por exemplo? Por outro é uma lição para o governo, uma tapa na cara, e na organização da CBF. Não culpo o povo e os milhares de brasileiros que trabalharam para organizar esta festa bonita da Copa até hoje...
