Games between the two teams, even those that are only friendly matches , are often marked by notable and sometimes controversial incidents. This rivalry is also called the Battle of the South Americans. Even among dispassionate football fans, the Argentina-Brazil match is a noteworthy occurrence often due to the sheer level of competitiveness and talent of the two squads. Both Argentina and Brazil are routinely ranked among the top 10 national teams in the world. Origins The origins of the football rivalry between Argentina and Brazil can be traced to before football became so popular in both countries. Today few remember wars and other political confrontations between both countries, and only recall matches, victories, goals and other sport-related incidents. Their rivalry is found in almost all sports, but a mens football match between Argentina and Brazil is one that neither side wants to lose, and often acquires more importance than the championship within which it takes place. To exemplify the intensity of this rivalry, is enough to remember that after the 1946 incidents ( see below), the two teams did not play against each other for ten years; either team would decline to play a given cup so that they would never have to play against the neighboring country. Games statistics Since their first match in 1914, the national teams have played 95 matches counting friendlies, World Cup , and other official competitions (excluding matches between youth sides). Even though there is a difference depending on whether the Argentine Football Association (AFA) or the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) does the counting, the near-balance is not in dispute. Of the 95 matches played between both national teams, Argentina holds 35 victories, with 25 draws, and 35 Brazilian victories. Also, with 150 goals for Argentina and 145 goals for Brazil. [7] Only counting World Cup matches, Brazil is slightly ahead with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, whereas in the Copa América matches, Argentina holds a comfortable lead with 15 victories, 8 draws and 9 defeats. Of the 50 friendly matches, 19 went to Brazil, 17 to Argentina and 14 were draws. Since the first match between the two countries in 1914, Argentina dominated the early years with more than double of the Brazilian victories. This is even when Brazil was world champion in 1958 and 1962. However, the 1970s proved to be dark times for Argentina, with 7 defeats, 4 draws and only 1 victory. Although it should be mentioned that one of the draws came in the 1978 World Cup played in Argentina. The draw (0–0) actually helped Argentina reach their second World Cup final and their first World Cup Title. In the 1978 World Cup, Brazil was left behind playing for third place. Highest scoring wins between these two nations, for Argentina 6–1 (at home in Buenos Aires , 1940) and 1–5 (away at Rio de Janeiro, 1939), for Brazil 6–2 (at home in Rio de Janeiro, 1945 and 1960) and 1–4 (away at Buenos Aires, 1960). Most important victory matches between these two nations, for Argentina was the tie in the 1978 world cup that helped them reach the final and their first title and the (1–0) victory over Brazil in the 1990 World Cup which eliminated Brazil from the World Cup. For Brazil, two Copa America win victories in the Copa America finals. The first, in Peru, 2004, Brazil won a penalty shoot out (4–2) after a (2–2) draw, and the second, a (3–0) win in the 2007 Copa America final played in Venezuela. [8] The latest match between the two teams was the decision of the Superclásico de las Américas held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in November 2012.
