International career

Guzmics gained notoriety in his international career against an ill-fated match against arch-rivals Romania, when in the second minute his defensive fumble allowed Ciprian Marica to score an early goal - the match would end with 3-0, with Guzmics being universally blamed for it, the blame he accepted.[5] On 7 September 2015, Guzmics scored his first goal for Hungary in a 1-1 draw against Northern Ireland at the Windsor Park, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[6] After his performance against Norway, he was selected as one of the best defenders of the playoffs.[7]

Guzmics was selected for Hungary's Euro 2016 squad.[8]

On 14 June 2016, Guzmics played in the first group match in a 2–0 victory over Austria at the UEFA Euro 2016 Group F match at Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France.[9] Three days later on 18 June 2016 he played in a 1–1 draw against Iceland at the Stade Vélodrome, Marseille.[10] He also played in the last group match in a 3–3 draw against Portugal at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Lyon on 22 June 2016.[11]
