NewsFLash: They dont like Brasilians in Argentina.

And their league pay them well enough(when they get paid) and its just as visible for that trip to Europe so they rather stay. But there have been a few that have played in the Argie league.

the only brasilian i can think off-hand who played in argentina was the one year the immortal domingos da guia played for boca jrs. in the 1930s! he also played one year for nacional of uruguay.

there must be some brasilians who played in argentina, but they would have been very marginal players, not the big stars (except da guia of course). the race thing against brasilians in argentina isn't very pleasant.

Paulo Silas was key in San Lorenzo's championship in 1995.

Of course there have been several Brazilians who shined in Argentina throughout our long football history. My favorite was Paulo Valentim. He was an idol of Boca Juniors and always managed to play his best and score goals against River Plate. I believe he is the top goalscorer for Boca Juniors in games against River Plate. He won two Argentine championships and also played for Boca in the copa libertadores.

He played in the early sixties. I never actually saw him play. (I was one year old when he played in the libertadores), but I read a lot about him in old 'El Grafico' magazines, and heard a lot about him from older Boca Juniors fans.

Sorry for the double post, but I just had to go and look for some link to the great Valentim. I didn't know he had also played for the Brazilian national team, and scored five goals in five games for them.
