Brazil Seeks to End 16-Year Winless Streak Against Argentina in World Cup Qualifier

Brazil is determined to end a 16-year winless streak against Argentina in an upcoming World Cup qualifier, with coach Dorival Jr. emphasizing the need to overcome their rivals and silence critics. The last victory in Argentina was in 2009, and Brazil has not scored there in a decade. Despite missing key players like Neymar and Alisson due to injuries, Brazil's recent 2-1 win over Colombia has boosted morale. Striker Raphinha has boldly promised to score, while defender Marquinhos expressed confidence that it's time to claim a win. Argentina, currently leading the qualifiers, can secure their World Cup spot with a draw, raising the stakes for both teams in this critical match. The clash is not only pivotal for standings but also for Brazil's reputation and qualification hopes.
