This exciting doubleheader will be a special sight for all to see as the two-time World Cup champion, Argentina, will be playing in its first full international match in the tri-state area. While Argentina, ranked fifth in the current FIFA world rankings, have world-class players like Juan Sebastian Veron and Hernan Crespo, they will face heavy opposition from South American rivals Peru - a team known for gritty and creative play.

Watch Gaven, Mark Lisi, Eddie Pope and the gang battle through the tough Rapids, who will bring stars like Chris Henderson and Pablo Mastroeni to try and bring down the Red and Black.
