Squad Explanation
-- Okay. I am running out of ideas to create super teams. I admitted this is a far fetched idea. Austria-Hungary had been gone for 40 years at the time of the 1954 World Cup Finals.
-- Why Austria-Hungary? As you might have known, Hungary 1954 is considered to be the greatest ever team that never won the World Cup. They lost to West Germany in the Final match that is known as the "Miracle of Bern". Austria also finished third. Imagine this two teams combined. Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia were also in the World Cup Finals with Yugoslavia reaching the quarterfinal.
-- If nothing happened on 28 June 1914 in Sarajevo that started the First World War, the world would be a different place. But even if nothing happened, Austria-Hungary Empire might not exist by 1954. Certainly, the map of the Empire in 1954 would not be the same as the one in 1914. But I still based the team on the territory held by Austria-Hungary at the beginning of the First World War.

Once upon a time, Austria and Hungary belonged to the same country. In 1950's, Hungary's football was at its peak. Between 1950 and 1956, Mighty Magyars recorded 42 victories, 7 draws and just one defeat before facing West Germany in the 1954 World Cup final. Their team in that World Cup was considered among the greatest ever team that had never won the World Cup. In 1954, Austria finished third right behind Hungary at the same World Cup Finals. Imagine the two nations were still one nation in 1954.
I am using the map of Austrian-Hungary Empire at the beginning of the First World War as the team selection's criteria. Players from Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, parts of Italy, Romania, etc are considered.
Prediction
In 1954, both Austria and Hungary had better football reputation than West Germany. In Germany, the 1954 World Cup Final is known as the Miracle of Bern (German: Wunder von Bern) because the victory was considered a "miracle". They lost to the West Germans because of a combination bad luck, refereeing decisions, poor weather, an injury to Ferenc Puskas, etc. Most football experts considered Hungary a better team than West Germany. They would have beaten the Germans in a rematch without any reinforcement. So it was easy to say that Austria-Hungary could have won the World Cup, but in actuality, Hungary was beaten by factors not related to the quality of players on their team. Could this team overcome bad luck, poor weather, etc? Perhaps, this team would do better with László Kubala who could fill the role of a Puskas who just recovered from an injury.
Team(only 22 players in 1954)

-- The Austria-Hungary Empire was a multi-ethnic empire. This blog was not about the history of that country. I would not be going in details how this team would not happen in the 20th Century.
-- Manager Jimmy Hogan was often credited of changing the way football was played in continental Europe, especially Austria and Hungary. His style was basis of Austria's Wunderteam of the 1930s. Gusztáv Sebes, coach of Hungary of the 1950s also credited him for his influence. Hogan's style was that of short passing game with emphasis on controlling possession.
-- No FIFA All-Stars team was selected at the end of the tournament in 1954. However, a FIFA All-Star team was added many years later. Seven players from this team also made the team. They were Ferenc Puskas (Hungary), Sandor Kocsis (Hungary), Zoltan Czibor (Hungary), Nandor Hidegkuti (Hungary), Jozsef Bozsik (Hungary), Ernst Ocwirk (Austria) and Gyula Grosics (Hungary). Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 2006 have the most players selected in the All-Star Team with 7 players each. So this Austria-Hungary team would have tied with Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 2006 for the most numbers of All-Stars. Note: the 1930 and 1954 selections only had 11 players overall, while the 2006 selection had 23.
-- In the actual World Cup, West Germany defeated Yugoslavia in quarter-final, Austria in the semi-final and finally, Hungary in the Final.
-- In 1954, only 22 players were on the World Cup roster. This team consisted of 10 Hungarians, 7 Austrians and 4 Yugoslavians. The 22nd player was Laszlo Kubala who was of mixed backgrounds.
-- No FIFA All-Stars team was selected at the end of the tournament in 1954. However, a FIFA All-Star team was added many years later. Seven players from this team also made the team.

Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 2006 have the most players selected in the All-Star Team with 7 players each. So this Austria-Hungary team would have tied with Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 2006 for the most numbers of All-Stars. Note: the 1930 and 1954 selections only had 11 players overall, while the 2006 selection had 23.
-- In the actual World Cup, West Germany defeated Yugoslavia in quarter-final, Austria in the semi-final and finally, Hungary in the Final.
-- In 1954, only 22 players were on the World Cup roster. This team consisted of 10 Hungarians, 7 Austrians and 4 Yugoslavians. The 22nd player was Laszlo Kubala who was of mixed backgrounds.
-- Zlatko Čajkovski, Vladimir Beara and Branko Zebec was born in Croatia while Branko Stanković was born in Sarajevo. Those regions belonged to Austria-Hungary Empire in 1914. All four players from Yugoslavia were household names in the history of football.
-- Milos Milutinović was born in Serbia, which was not a part of Austria-Hungary empire.
-- Parts of Ukraine and Italy belonged to Austria-Hungary. I would have selected anyone who was born in the regions that belonged to the empire at the outbreak of the First World War.
-- Italy's football was at one of its darkest ages. From 1950 to 1968, Italy never went beyond the group stage of the World Cup Finals. They did win the 1968 European Championship, but that would be 14 years away from 1954. Giampiero Boniperti who was their 1954 World Cup captain was their only player of note, but he was not born in an area that belonged to Austria-Hungary Empire at the beginning the War.

-- Guido Gratton of Italy's World Cup team was born in Friuli Venezia Giulia, which was a part of Austria-Hungary Empire at the beginning of the War. He was a member of my Fiorentina All-Time Team, but he did not make this team. Several other Italian players from the 1954 World Cup were born in Veneto. The area was a part of Austria-Hungary, but it left the Empire after the Treaty of Vienna (1866). So they were not eligible. LB Sergio Cervato was born in Padua, Veneto. He would have been helpful to this team.
-- Giuseppe Grezar who died in the Superga Air Disaster in 1949 was born in Trieste, which was a part of Austria-Hungary. If he was alive in 1954, he would be 35 years old.
-- Football in Romania and Poland were still relatively unknown in 1954. I did not do any research on their players.
-- Ladislav Novak (Czech Republic) later helped Czechoslovakia to finish second in the 1962 World Cup Finals. I put him as honorable mention.
-- László Kubala did not play in the 1954 World Cup Finals because of the political situation at the time. But in this alternative world without the same political events that affected the region, he might have probably stayed in Slovakia or Hungary. In 1954, he was in his prime playing for Barcelona. His inclusion to team added a lot of excitement.

--The political map of Europe would be different. The Hungarian government probably would not create the superteam Budapest Honvéd FC. László Kubala might not be playing for Barcelona FC in 1954.
-- Mihály Tóth and Erich Probst are the only member of the team who did not make my All-Time team of his country respectively (Austria , Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Former Yugoslavia).
-- Erich Probst scored 6 goals in the actual 1954 World Cup Finals, but he was a relatively a forgotten player.
Formation
The frontline is similar to the formation Hungary used in 1954. Nandor Hidegkuti operates as the "false 9". At Barcelona FC, László Kubala also played with Sándor Kocsis and Zoltán Czibor in a similar formation. I believed Kubala on the right side. Ernst Happel on the right might be a question mark.
