(Reuters) - Argentina’s first major title in 28 years sent the nation into a frenzy of celebrations on Sunday with the Copa America victory over arch-rivals Brazil instilling hope they may once again rise to be serious World Cup contenders.
Argentina beat Brazil 1-0 at the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night to claim their first Copa since 1993 and give captain Lionel Messi a long-coveted first medal for the national team to join his multiple accolades with Barcelona.
