20 Years Ago: Usa Vs Arg At The Copa America

I' had never seen Brazilians cheer so fanatically for the US as they did that day. Brazil was full red, white and blue.
 
I remember exactly where I was during this match. Panajachel, Guatemala. It was the first time I got into USA futbol. Little did I know, I would end up in Argentina. If that were to happen again today--I'd be a bit conflicted.
 
If Im not wrong, Argentina played that match with its B team, because we already qualified.

And I remember very well that Copa America, we lost in quarterfinals against Brazil with a goal by Tulio, who stopped grotesquely the ball with his arm.

Wasn't grotesquely enough, regrettably. The more dirty the victory over Argentina is, the better.

There has never been a more grotesque moment in the history of sports than this:

That is NOTHING.

The holy water incident

1978 world cup cheat

This is why no Brazilian will NEVER cheer for Argentina. Ever. if Argentina were to play against a team with Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao Zedong, Joseph Menguela and Osama Bin laden, we would still root for them instead of Argentina. During the Argentina X Germany game in the last world cup, we were all 100% Germany, heart and Soul. Even if we had lost to Germany by 100 - 0, it would have changed nothing. Brazilians have nothing but complete and total disdain towards the Argentine national team. It is an institution without a shred of honor and a disgrace to the sport.

You are quite a gentleman.

I, instead, am for the fair play (thats why I hate Bilardo)

Fortunately, its mutual.
