The Argentinians came to win to Switzerland, in eighth; Belgium, in chambers, and to the Low Countries in the semifinals by means of the definition by penaltis. But it would arrive a Germany that came to crush to Brazil by 1-7 and would snatch them the title in the extention.

In the Glass America, the reality has been similar. The albiceleste does not win the continental trophy from the edition of 1993.

The Brazilians will look for his tenth title, whereas Argentina will try to equalise the 15 trophies that have to Uruguay like the winning maximum.
