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.

Totally disagree, Hungary '54 and Netherlands '74 are remembered even though they didn't win silverware IMO

Though you just mentioned the same 2 teams as the other reply. Those are the 2 major exceptions (obviously there's others too)
