Many hot-shots will come to Budapest in 2010; Depeche Mode, Paul Potts, Mark Knopfler and more! But, a new world famous band has just entered the list: Metallica. The band was formed in 1981 and has it origins in Los Angeles and they have sold more than 50 million albums in the United States alone. Now they are coming to Budapest, and it might be that they will not join us on a guided tour, but if we and you would like to see them I guess the best way is to grab hold of a ticket to the concert which will be held at the Puskas Ferenc Stadium.

Debrecen defeated by French giants

Yesterday Debrecen played their first Champions League match in Hungary. Two weeks ago they lost 1-0 against Liverpool at Anfield Road, so hope existed that after their “good” result in Liverpool, they might be able to catch a point or three against Lyon at Puskas Ferenc Stadium.

But as many have pointed out; Lyon is a very good team, and maybe even better than Liverpool. And every year Lyon beats big team; both home and away. And so it turned out this year as well that Lyon got a great victory on foreign ground.

The final result of the Champions League match was 4-0, and they deserved the win. But, I must admit that Debrecen did a good job as well, and the Puskas Ferenc Stadium was packed with people. And even though Debrecen lost 4-0 the fans shouted and screamed and applauded the Debrecen guys, so I guess the hungarians are just happy to have a team in the Champions League. And if they later should manage to shoot a goal, and maybe even grab a point… it might be that Christmas will come early to Hungary this year!

Next matches in Budapest:
October 20 against Fiorentina
November 24 against Liverpool

Events and other information

Normally I am playing football every Tuesday evening. But, this autumn will not be to active because of Debrecen who qualified for the Champions League. Especially when Debrecen is playing at the Puskás Ferenc Stadium everyone is either home watching the match in television, or at the stadium watching it there.
