Brazil and Argentina, ten years in Hedong, ten years in Hexi!
Messi took to social media to celebrate the entry of the Argentine Olympic team to the Paris Olympics, which defeated Brazil 1-0 to qualify for Paris, while Brazil did not qualify for Paris. It is worth mentioning that Argentina has beaten Brazil 1-0 three times in the last three years, the first two being the final of the Copa America in 2021 and the World Preliminary Tournament more than two months ago.
In terms of momentum and head-to-head in recent years, Argentine football has clearly overpowered Brazilian football, and in the first 20 years of this century, it was a very different scenario.
During the period from 2000 to 2010, Brazil was completely suppressed against Argentina, and almost once in the world preliminaries, Brazil won all of them against Argentina in the 2004 Copa America final, the 2005 Confederations Cup final, and the 2007 Copa America final, and all of them were won with a non-complete lineup.
In the 2010s, Brazilian football was clearly in decline, but Argentina were still in decline, although they have met very little in major tournaments in the past decade, only once in the semi-finals of the 2019 Copa America, which Brazil won 2-0.
But after this Copa America, Argentine football suddenly seemed to be enlightened, and in the following more than 4 years, they only lost 2 games in total, and won three trophies in a row, and they are likely to defend their title in this year's Copa America.
