Argentina vs Brazil
The title says it all. Argentina vs Brazil. This matchup sends chills down the spines of all soccer fans. There are many great rivalries in international soccer, but this was is the best in my opinion. These two teams have won a combined total 7 World Cups and 22 Copa Americas. Not too mention a factory of great international football stars. These two nations are in the soccer mad continent of South America and have tons of rabid fans. These two countries have played so many important games between the two and have had several controversial moments. The rivalry has escalated so much throughout the years, and for the losing fans in this match it gives them a bitter pill to swallow. These two countries are the only superpowers in the west, which adds to the greatness of the rivalry. What really makes the rivalry excel, is the style with which these two teams play. You won't find two better nations to watch world wide then these two. Argentina and Brazil never seek to amaze you when you see them play. These are the two nations that produced the best two players of all time. Pele and Maradona. The debate over who was better will go on forever. This matchup on Saturday will be another thriller. Brazil currently lead in South America, by one point over Chile, and can all but book a place in South Africa with a win. For Argentina, this match is critical. They only lead Ecuador by 2 points, and are in real danger of slipping out of the automatic qualification places. A win for them is vital. No matter the result, it will be sensational to watch.
