After the Brazil of Coutinho and Arthur surpassed in the penaltis to Paraguay, Argentina has imposed with some clarity to Venezuela (0-2) and the two selections more laureadas of the football sudamericano already have remained matched in the first semifinal of the Glass America, that will contest during the morning of the Tuesday to the Wednesday (02.30 hours, Spanish peninsular hour) in the Mineirao of Belo Horizonte.

They will confront two selections, Brazil and Argentina, that do not measure in Glass America from the final of 2007, night in which the albiceleste -with Leo Messi like titling- fell defeated by 0-3 in Maracaibo (Venezuela). That final decided it Julio Baptista, an autogol of Roberto Ayala and the definite goal of Dani Alves, whereas Argentina went back to fall in front of the 'canarinha' in the final of 2004 in Lima (Peru), after a 2-2.

It is not having Argentinian fortune in the last finals, this is clear. The albiceleste already lost the two last of Glass America in the penaltis against Chile (2015 and 2016), but is had to try to delete to the 'seleçao' to plant in question of days in a new final, waiting for knowing which will be the another semifinal of the tournament. Of the Colombia-Chile and the Uruguay-Peru will go out the two contendientes.

The FC Barcelona, in definite, will be represented yes or yes in the final of the Glass America 2019. Coutinho And Arthur will try to help to his to brake to Leo Messi, the one who no prodigó too much in front of Venezuela and seems to be reserving for the decisive parties.

It does not be necessary to forget that the two selections keep distinct dynamics in the tournament. While Brazil began like an exhalation the phase of groups goleando to Bolivia (0-3), 'punctured' in front of Venezuela (0-0) and goleó to Peru (0-5), needing God and help in chambers to win to Paraguay (0-0) in the penaltis, Argentina has gone of less to more in the last weeks.

Argentina, every time with better feelings

The albiceleste lost against Colombia (0-2) in the first party of the phase of groups, empató 'in extremis' in front of Paraguay (1-1) and won to Qatar (0-2) to happen like second of group, attaining in the last his second consecutive victory when winning to Venezuela (0-2) in which it has been, to date, his best party in the tournament.

Good feelings for Argentina and no so good for Brazil. Although it is clear that, when the two teams see the faces on the lawn of the Mineirao in question of days, of at all will cost the intangible. Anybody can lose the most spectacular appointment of the football sudamericano.
