In football its is a widespread belief that in order to be remembered you need to win silverware.

Hungary of that time is one of the exceptions to that rule.

I love how English can confuse someone if they're not well-conversant with the language.

How do you mean? Did i say something wrong

It's grand, but the structure of your first sentence could be quite complicated for a non-native speaker.

I think he was just joking about silverware and hungry.

I'm referring to how the other guy in the thread completely missed the point of your argument.

Your comment made perfect sense just to clarify.

Most people’s minds, when fluent in a language, will often literally autocorrect mistakes like that and only recall them if they deliberately attempt to, you’re fine

The only slight grammatical error was putting “its is”. And even then that’s so nit picky. The sentence was perfectly worded.
