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.

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.

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.

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...

#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.

[@georgemiloslavskii573]

“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.

have you ever tried to throw a leather ball that has been in the water for half an hour? It weighs about 1Kg. And getting a thing like that smashed in your face as a goalie hurts. Really. The guys in the movie play according to the 1956 Rules. All of the actors are major league players. They definitely know how to play. Besides: Mark Spitz is the Narrator in the movie as far as i know.
