Argentina vs (Brasil, England or France)
All would be classics
Also Argentina Vs Italia would be interesting.
England vs France would be great Euro final. Rematch!

Netherlands vs. Italy - Would be a great sword(Holland) to the shield(Italy) match of two teams with completely different styles.

Italy already played finals with Brazil and Germany. These are the most successfull teams in terms of World Cups. The other traditional teams that Italy hasn't met in WC finals yet (Argentina, England, France) don't match the options in the poll in terms of rivalry and expectations, IMO.

Can you imagine Brazil-Argentina in the final of WC2014 in Brazil.
Brazilians are not going to be able to sleep because of all the pressure, FYI Brazil lost against Uruguay in the 1950 final in front of 195,000 fans.

But Italy and Argentina will be an interesting pair due to the numbers of Italians in Argentina. Certainly, it is more interesting than the Argentina and France Finla on your poll. I do not even remember Argentina meeting France in recent years.

Definitely Argentina v. Brazil. Forget everyone else. The passion in such a finals may cause a riot at the Argentine/Brazil border,lol.

Yes but the two powers (Brazil/Argentina) meet at Foz do Iguacu, right? Oh who cares if my geography is off,lol. That would be the ideal WC finals, I'm surprised it hasn't happened at least once over history.
