Copa America Final - Argentina vs Brazil
Argentina has won the Copa America tournament a total of 14 times since the beginning in 1916. Uruguay is tied with 14 championships. Interestingly enough, Brazil has only won 7 times, but they have won 3 of the last 4 Copa America titles. The last victory was at the expense of Argentina in 2004 in Peru with Brazil winning the tournament 4-2 in penalties. Argentina hasn’t won the tournament since 1993, but they have assembled together a strong squad and are clearly the favorites in this tournament.
