Henrik Hegedus
I am based from Budapest, Hungary. I grew up listening to stories of the 'Mighty Magyars', probably the best team of the world in the 50s, only to helplessly witness the annihilation of our national team at the 1986 World Cup, Mexico, which by the way was the first international football event of my life at the age of 7 - a shocking 'afterimage' and also an experience that changed my life forever. It was when I realised I turned into a football fan beyond recovery. As a blogger I contribute to Soccerlens on a weekly basis. Beside, I have been writing pieces for Nou San Trafford (a Hungarian blog) for almost two years and have had the opportunity to write live commentary and post as a guest author for a number of football related blogs and websites. I mainly cover the events of the Bundesliga and the Nationalelf.

Football vs. nationalism – England vs. Germany
Get all the updates on the latest England-Germany match here.
