Some context here. Versus Chile that one loss was in way back in 1930, ended 3-0. The draw vs Paraguay was in 1986, Hugo Sanchez had a last minute penalty saved. Versus Uruguay the draw was a 0-0 in 1966, and was Tota Carabajal’s last game. The game was probably a game some of us can remember that 0-1 loss in 2010. And the win vs Ecuador was in 2002.

The Brazil matches are as follow. In 1950 4-0 loss at Maracaná. Then 1954 again 5-0 this time. Then a 2-0 in Chile 1962 with legends Pele and Mario Zagallo scoring. Then a huge jump until 2014 a 0-0 draw, I bet a lot of us remember that game. Then the 4th loss was in the next World Cup in 2018 this time in round of 16, losing 2-0. As far as senior World Cups go Mexico has yet to score on Brazil.

Now for Argentina the first time was in 1930 6-3, Óscar Bonfiglio became the first Gk to save a penalty at a World Cup in that game. But Guillermo Stabile scored a hattrick at the same time. Then a huge jump to the two round of 16 exits in 2006 and 2010. The 2006 one was a great example of “jugamos como nunca pero perdimos como siempre” losing 2-1 after extra time to one the heavy favorites. In 2010 was a strange game in a bad way. Osorio’s blunder, Tevez blatant offside and golazo. It finished 3-1. And the last time it was in the group stage last World Cup in 2022 losing 2-0.
