History of the Brazil vs Argentina rivalry

The Brazil-Argentina rivalry is in part fueled by the proximity between the two countries. But the consistent quality of the two teams, often battling for the top spot in South America and even the world, makes the matchup special.

Pelé and Maradona, Leo Messi, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldihno, Agüero, Neymar, Tevez, Crespo – the list goes on and on of remarkable players who’ve represented these massive sides.

The rivalry’s early years were marked with long stretches where the two did not compete against each other at all. But from the 1950s on, the two sides have met frequently and headlined international football – winning a combined eight World Cup and twelve Copa América titles since.

Brazil and Argentina have met four times at the World Cup, but never in a final. Brazil have won two of these matches, Argentina one, and the other ended in a draw. The 1990 World Cup Argentina win in Italy drew controversy. It is believed by some that the Argentina staff laced water with tranquilizers and gave it to Brazil’s Branco. Maradona later described the incident, saying Branco was given “holy water”.

Since CONMEBOL only consists of ten nations, the two much more frequently matchup in Copa América. Argentina holds a significant edge in the all-time Copa title rankings. The overall W-D-L results between the two sides is much more even, however.
