The Battle of the South Americans pits two of the most famous footballing nations against each other. Brazil and Argentina have produced some of the best players the world has ever seen, and both are always favorites to win every World Cup.
There are no real political divides between the two nations, so this rivalry was born solely out of football. They first met in 1914, and Brazil has 35 wins and five World Cups to Argentina's 34 and two. Argentina has also won 14 Copa America's.
The battle of Pele or Maradona also adds some spice to the rivalry, but in a few years (if that), Lionel Messi could make that argument completely null!!!
I personally think its not more than Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, or Liverpool vs. Manchester United, or even Celtic vs. Rangers!!!
