1947 international soccer friendly match Italy 3 - Hungary 2 Comunale stadium, Turin, Italy, May 11, 1947 the Italy National Team starting lineup in the second half of the 40's was almost entirely made of Grande Torino players which regularly contribuited with 8-9 starters, and in 1947 for the friendly match Italy 3 - Hungary 2 the Azzurri starting lineup was made of 10 Grande Torino players plus the Juventus goalkeeper Sentimenti IV, and this only because the legendary italian manager Vittorio Pozzo didn't have the guts to go all the way, so he sat out for this match the Azzurri starting keeper Valerio Bacigalupo who of course was the goalkeeper of Grande Torino, otherwise it would have been the whole Grande Torino team playing for Italy, but 10 players of the same club is still another italian soccer record! one of the many that The Invincibles set and that still stands
