in the last ecumenical event played in 2013, which placed our team in Group A, with the
World Champion (New Zealand) and the local computer, Canada, among others.


Argentina has a good record against all their group opponents. Before the Canadian team Argentina

playoffs.


Meanwhile, our team against New Zealand lost 2-1 in the round robin World 2013; even if
Argentina surpassed last year's 5-1 world champion on tour both teams performed by

In the case of Britain, the official history
most immediate is the match that Argentina won the
European team 3-2 in the group stage

game that defined the classification of our country to playoff competition, leaving in fifth place
British group together.


Finally, the last official match between Argentina and Guatemala was held in Paraná, in the IX Championship
