The Classic of South America is now here that can sweeten a Cup that until now is being quite dull in terms of game, including last night's match of the Argentines. The Brazil-Argentina of Tuesday in Belo Horizonte will turn football upside down, and world football, for a few days. At stake is the continental supremacy, taking into account that the king of America, at the moment, is Uruguay, with 15 dueling Copa. But behind Argentina, with 14, and Brazil, with eight titles. In the game on Tuesday will elucidate then who can get closer to the Uruguayans.El Clásico de América will be played, moreover, in a symbolic stadium, in negative terms, for Brazil, since there was the disastrous 1-7 semifinals of the Brazil World Cup 2014. Perhaps the greatest ridicule in the history of 'Brazilian futebol'. If we go to the history recognized by FIFA, it will be the 106th edition of the Classic of South America between both countries. Until see what happens on Tuesday, Brazil is the queen of these Classics with 41 wins, 38 from Argentina and 26 draws. The last precedent between both was a friendly in October 2018, with a pírrico 0-1 for Brazilians.

Pulling more of history, the first game between both powers was played there by 1914, and won Albicleste 3-0. Curiously, in this same stadium Mineirao played the last official match between these teams: a 3-0 in Brazil for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers. It was in 2016 and in Belo Horizonte. That's right, if we extend to unofficial matches, recognized by FIFA, would be a total of 110 matches between the two countries, of which Argentina and Brazil have won the same number of clashes: 42 ... with 26 draws. In the Copa América clashes, both sides have played, in total, 31 times, with a balance of 15 Argentine wins, nine Brazilians and eight draws. On Tuesday there will be a new edition. For Messi, in addition, the Mineirao is already a very recognizable stadium. With this will be five encounter played there. There is no foreign stadium in the world in which I have played more times with the Albiceleste.
