Brazil and Argentina have met in Copa America finals, The Confederations cup final and the qualifiers regularly over the last five years, but the rivalry is akin to the one between Sugar Ray robinson and Jake la Motta i.e. very one-sided. Argentina seem to suffer a complete mental collapse when they play Brazil, byebyebadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038367328030974280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3912136666601692339.post-18633983685800093022007-12-04T16:44:00.000+00:002007-12-04T16:44:00.000+00:00Byebye,Romania could be the spoiler in this group/...Byebye,<BR/>Romania could be the spoiler in this group/<BR/>They leaded the Dutch in qualifying and have great coaching not to mention their star players as Chivu or Mutu and Cosmin Contra.<BR/>As far as the pairing of Italy and France, it's interesting<BR/>that they meet last.
