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.

Nonsense. Hungary '54 and Netherlands '74 lost in final, but are still remembered fondly.

So like 2 teams over the last 70 years? (Id personally add Brazil and the Netherlands 1998 as well)
