Aussie Aussie but the Hungarians are the ones wearing black in the movie when they wore white in real life ... in water polo the dark color means you’re the ‘home’ team. The darker caps are usually nicer quality than white caps. I think this may have something to do with the way the movie is. Water polo player just feel more at home in dark caps.
@@jemtjinaton8042 actually older. he retired from coaching but still teaches french in college. he coached me almost 30 years ago, and he kept coaching til about 10 years ago. he is in the coaching hall of fame in water polo.
It' s from a movie that was made as a remembrance of the actual game in melbourne in 1956, Hungary vs Russia. The political background to it is that at the same time when the our "boys" were fighting in water polo against russia, Russian tanks arrived in Hungary to oppress the revolution started by Hungarian students against soviet occupation of our land! a tiny country against the Red Army., There were a lot of killings, tortures and we lived under soviet dictatorship for decades.
You talk about Russia, but only the Soviet Union existed then. Another fact you might want to know, is that Nikita Khrushchev was of Ukrainian ethnicity.
Hahaha, fucking brainwashed. Hungury during the 2WW was nazi country. And they killed a lot of Russians during the war. And after Russia could do everything to the country that was aggressor before. And Hungarians started to provoke, because they spoke Russian. To these Russians didn't matter what was happening in Hungary. It was no their business. It was political thing, not of the nation Really brainwashed. You have to learn the history a little and don't watch that propaganda films. I have some friends from GB that tell me that they won 2WW, hahahaha English native countries have the most stupid and ignorant people.
Was that bbefore or after the Molotov-Von Ribbentrop treaty? Was that before the "liberation" of half Poland in 1939? or when Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania a" well known facist countries" were also "liberated" in 1939?. Ah, no Hungary might have been a nazi country when Russia invaded Finland, another "well known fascist country".

In 2002, the meeting was organized by members of the legendary match. Hungarian and Soviet water Polo players apologized to each other and forgot about the mutual claims. However, the events of that match has already entered the history of the sport. More dramatic match in the next 60 years, water Polo has not happened. A "Blood pool" has become one of the brightest events of the Olympic games in Melbourne and the history of the sport in General.
"We decided to withdraw Russian myself, years later, recalled Ervin Zador. The plan was this: we play, they fight". We must admit that the Hungarians played really well: defended really well and used his chances, so in the second half of the meeting led with the score 4:0. And they did not hesitate to provoke opponents. They know Russian language, insulted and called names by Soviet athletes. Those long held back, but the atmosphere in the pool was obviously heated. Water Polo is a contact sport, and in the first half of the crowded hall saw a few minor skirmishes. To see the explosion, it was necessary only to bring the match...
Hungary, currently a land ruled by fascists. Where they still maintain the Soviet era checking while entering. Nothing changed in the heads of uniformed man there.
Something tells me that the owner of this channel has changed. This kid is certainly not 14 or something. This channel exists since 2008, and I don't think that this German kid (he's German on his channel) could speak such English 12 years ago
@@robbrewis I know. I can't explain it in any other way. Perhaps the previous guy, who actually created this channel, was the one, who created this comment
I was impressed. I have tried to find this movie for years now, to no avail, not even by "illegal" means. Guess I am just a lousy net user. But this came on telly yesterday here in Finland. One of the best movies I have seen. I laughed and cried, How such a seemingly little thing can be so big. Of course it helps that our cousins have similar sense of bad humour, and tear jerking. I am far from being a nationalist, but I must admit I spontaneously raised my fist at times and went HELL YES!
“The first thing that struck Melbourne was a meeting with the Hungarians. We just flew in, go to training, they meet us - and turn away. Of course, we knew what was happening, but for us it was strange. It happens and is happening - but we are in completely different ways. Then their player, Markowitz, approached our captain Mshveniyradze - “Peter, we were instructed to ignore all Soviet athletes.” The ground for us to have a fight was ready, ”recalled 81-year-old Viktor Ageev, who missed that match but played in the decisive game for bronze against the Germans. The decisive match, which became the most famous in the history of water polo, remained undefeated. The audience squeezed into the six-thousandth hall almost eight thousand - mostly it was the Hungarian immigrants who spoke Russian well. After the war, there were three Russian lessons per week in Hungarian schools - before the game, the Hungarians decided to crush the Soviet team. “Our plan before the game was based on their verbal irritation. From 10 years old I studied Russian more than Hungarian. Can you imagine how in my 22 years I could infuriate the Russians with their own words? We had no doubt that they would begin to get angry and fight, ”Erwin Zador and his team did not hide the fact that they planned to insult their opponents in advance. From the first minutes, the players in the water began to beat each other. True, according to the stories of Soviet players, the Hungarians acted as the instigators - Deje Dyarmati in the first half broke his nose to blood to Peter Mshvenieradze. “This was a signal. Divided into pairs (each one chose a player against whom he acted in the match), we chased each other throughout the pool, trying to hook our counterpart so that it didn't seem enough. The Swede Zuckerman was the judge, as it turned out, an ardent anti-Soviet who judged in one direction, ”recalled the Soviet goalkeeper Boris Goikhman. “The brawl began in the first half. Some were in favor of fighting, while others were not. I played in defense, did not touch anyone. Me too. I saw that they were waving their fists on both sides. But who didn’t want to wave, he didn’t wave, "- Yuri Shlyapin then became the first president of the football Spartak, and in Melbourne the only USSR national team entered the symbolic national team." It was not water polo, but boxing on water. The Russians began to play very dirty when we took the lead. I myself received a terrible blow to the stomach. The most active were Markarov and Prokopov, who called us the entire match the Nazis, ”later Deje Gyarmati will become the most titled water polo player in the history of the Olympic Games. By the fourth quarter, the Hungarians led 3-0. The fourth ball flew into the empty net of the USSR national team, which by that time was no longer playing, and having strayed into a circle in the center of the pool, was hiding from coins, bottles and lighters flying from the stands. At the same time, Erwin Zador, who was holding on to his right eye, was swimming towards the side. Behind him in the water he left a wide red streak of blood. Photos of Zador with a deeply cut eyebrow and a red stream on his cheek will forever be a symbol of the match, which will go down in history called “Blood in the pool.” “For the last few minutes I have been patronizing Prokopov and managed to tell him that he is a loser and his family are losers Further. But then I made a terrible mistake. I could not take my eyes off Prokopov, but I looked at the referee who gave some kind of whistle. The next thing I saw was the body of Prokopov above the water and the fist of his free hand flying into my head. After his strike, I counted about 4 thousand stars, ”the doctors will not allow Zadora to go to a golden match against the Yugoslavs, and he will call this hour on the platform instead of the pool the hardest in life.“When Valentin Prokopov cut his eyebrow, he cried out so that even the red-hot stands were silent for a moment. But as soon as the victim swam to the side and smeared blood all over his face (unlike Mshveniyradze he didn’t even try to wash it off) and turned to the audience for sympathy, something hard to describe began, “a minute before the end of the match, Goikhman had to leave the gates empty. Enraged spectators instantly broke down the barriers and surrounded the pool above which roared from anti-Soviet slogans, some were ready to throw themselves in the water to take revenge on the Russians. Only a detachment of Melbourne police and the announcer, who announced the early victory of the Hungarian national team, were able to cool them.
@Krzol "- for having unique language understandable only for Hungarians" Not quite. Some words are still recognisable in Finnish :) Yeah, it was horrible but also great to see they used Molotov Cocktails just like us. Beggars can't be choosers. You wanna disable a tank, you do it even with a piece of timber if nothing better is available. Éljen Magyarország! Polskie świętowanie! Russki haza! Those might sound funny. Had to use a translator. But I guess you got my good intent. Solidarnosc!
La gesta épica del equipo de water polo de Hungría en las olimpiadas Australia 1956, de ganar el partido al equipo soviético, cuando los tanques del invasor soviético masacraban a los rebeldes húngaros en las calles de Budapest, David contra Goliat
Baseball is considered the US national sport, but we have a terrible record in international competition. Its interesting that association football is supposed to be "the world sport" but other countries - like the US - have team sports as their national sport that are only played by a handful of other countries at a professional level ergo Pakistan and field hockey, Portugal and roller hockey, Afghanistan and Buzkashi. So, why did Hungary choose water polo? You have a lot of lakes and rivers?
dudeman5685 If you ask me,I dont know,but that is interesting question because they dont have sea.I am not Hungarian.I am Montenegrin,our national sport is waterpolo too and woman handball.
The Hungary/Russia water polo match reminds me of the France/Italy soccer final at the 2006 World Cup. The French player butted head with the Italian player.
#TeamHungary here.. :) What happened to you in 1956, happened to us Czechs in 1968 (just in a bit less bloody way). Our „Polo” was a Hockey match in 1969 when we beat the „invincible” Russian team.
I'm water polo athlete also swimming, i learn swimming from 3 years old, but now i want water polo because, i think is fun, but so hard! I know is hard! But i train well, and i enjoy it, i feel easy if i enjoy it! Btw I'm 12 now on may i'm 13!!!
leather balls were commonplace until the early seventies. At that time synthetic balls, especially made by VOIT offered some grip, lighter weight and importantly didn't get heavier through the match(!) Latterly balls made by Mikasa and Kiefer with much imporved grip again have become popular.
And what only few people knows that, the Russians learned from the Hungarians....They had to teach the Russians, the Russians learned from the Hungarians....... Anyway, the Russians cheated at the game and look after the famous photo where the Hungarian players head is full of blood, because the Russian couldn't loose.... It was not only a game, it was a fu*king BIG HOPE for the Hungarians...If they can win the match, they can beat them at an "another way" too (you know it ).. Anyway the Hungarian poloteam torned after this game..., think about how many olimpic final could they had won? And there are so many things....today too! Because he is a Hungarian, he .....and i am not talking about football;) We are a small nation, but we can do big things! If you look our history why was the chinese big wall built? How many times did we make impossible things..
It has actually happened in 1956, Melbourne olimpics game. Hungarian guys knew that while they are playing, their relatives are fighting for freedom against a million times bigger power, the USSR (soviet union). What the soviet army has done to Budapest, that was much more horrible than a second world war. A big part of the soviet army fought against 12-16 year-old kids, and young people from univercities. Hungary won the polo match.
I wish Hungary would have beaten the Russians in Budapest and lost the water polo game. By the way, the siege of Budapest during WWII was the third bloodiest siege of WWII and clearly was way more devastating than what they have done in 1956. In any case, the Russians were barbaric for a long time, were barbaric during WWII and after. No change.
my grandfather was 12 years old and him and his friends threw Molotov cocktails at the Russian tanks or at least thats what he told me XD but yeah the soviets were brutal just as bad as the nazis
Look around to see if there are any club water polo places in your area. Water Polo is so competitive in my area, that me and all of the first year players were put in in the last 1-2 minutes of the game. If you want to do seriously it, try and gain some experience and you'll have a great time in high school. Water polo is a great sport!
@TheKuteBeagle It is the last part of "Szabadság szerelem / Children of Glory English sub". The hungarian and soviet teams played against each other for moving in the final, one month after the hungarian revolution was beaten down by the soviets.
yes and no. The video is obviously from a movie, however it is based off of the real events of the 1956 Hungarian revolution against the USSR, while this clip specifically is depicting the "blood in the water" olympic match between the USSR and Hungary. There's a failry large article about it on wikipedia if you google its name
goof at 6:27 as the current canadian flag is shown, in 1956 Canada's flag was the Union Jack in the upper left corner, and the canadian coat of arms on the right side. Nonetheless, the moviemakers did a fine job in recreating the events of that historical game, even if you're not a fan of water-polo!
