The first South American history Because I believe that was clear in my previous posting
, that first game of the Chilean national team played in Buenos Aires in 1910
can not be counted in the counting of the Argentine national team throughout history , much less as a meeting "official" . Some very prestigious historians, however, not only included in the detailed comparisons of Argentina but they mistake it for the days following Chile and other play with the true representative of the time albiceleste, citing it as for the South American, in the part of the celebrations for the centenary of the May Revolution, played ground by the time the teams Buenos Aires called "Chilean", "Uruguay" and "Argentines."
This definitely has to do with the little importance that historically has given the competition that, although it was not "official" did not exist as CONMEBOL and be recognized as such by that body is no more

exactly a big boost for sports broadcast that brought by a "Crazy English" was being made in this side of the Rio de la Plata. In fact, the
final June 12, 1910 played "Argentine" and "Uruguay" in the field of Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires was the first time in more than 8,000 people attended to watch a soccer match here selections, although the number of attendees
was already reached in 1904 when visiting the country for the first time an English professional team: Southampton.
So deep that would mark the 1910 triangular in Argentine football many years later, back in the late 20s, the magazine created in 1919 Graphical - remember him with a short text, but very revealing of his importance. A note also valuable because it removes any doubt about what these first match played by the Chilean national team in its history actually corresponded to this minicampeonato and what was simply a "friendly" naming in this way that game played by the representative of Chile on May 27, 1910 to a combined did not have players of Alumni and others who themselves have the team of "Argentine" South American.
