The Junior Final: Argentina-Uruguay

Argentina; weakened by the withdraw of one of his best players; showed great fortitude by five of its players who accepted the challenge and presented an uphill battle to Uruguay, the favorite team .

Finally Argentina lost by just 2 IMPs. Maybe the story would have been different if the Argentine team would have had a NPC with more authority.

The Semifinals:

Argentina-Venezuela and Uruguay-Brasil
