The National Team is playing everything for a place in Paris 2024, minute by minute

Argentina is playing everything against Brazil with these eleven: Leandro Brey; Gonzalo Luján, Nicolás Valentini and Valentín Barco; Exequiel Fernández, Juan Sforza and Cristian Medina; Thiago Almada, Santiago Castro and Luciano Gondou.

Winner of gold in soccer at the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Brazil will have the right to go to Paris-2024 if it beats Argentina, regardless of what happens between Venezuela and Paraguay. A draw could also be enough.

Equalizing with the Albiceleste would help the Seleçao to become Olympic again in the event of a Paraguayan victory or draw and also in most scenarios in the event of a Venezuelan victory.

In that last situation there would be a triple tie in the quadrangular between Brazil, Venezuela and Paraguay, which would be broken by the direct duels between these teams in this instance, in which Endrick and John Kennedy’s team lost 1-0 against Albirroja and beat Vinotinto 2-1.

It would condemn Ramon Menezes’ team if a draw of their own was combined with a victory for Venezuela against Paraguay by the slightest difference with a score of at least 3-2. By maintaining parity in points scored in the matches between those involved in a possible triple tie and in the goal difference in those clashes, the total number of goals scored would end up uneven in favor of the Venezuelans and Paraguayans.

If the result of the hypothetical victory of Vinotinto accompanying a Brazilian tie was 2-1, there would be absolute parity between those selected in a triple tie.

The criterion would become goal difference in the entire final phase and, later, goals scored. The five-time world champions would need a high score in their match.

Red and yellow cards could end up being the deciding factor and, in the last resort, a draw.

If it wins, Brazil would also be champion of the Pre-Olympic as long as Paraguay does not win against Venezuela.
