Argentina set to end 14-year title drought

MARACAIBO, Venezuala, July 14--Argentina are posed to end their 14 year Copa America famine when they meet their arch-rival in South America Brazil in Sunday's final.
Argentina set up this revenge meeting - they were beaten by Brazil on penalties in the last final in Peru three years ago - with a 3-0 rout of Mexico in Ciuduad Guayana on Wednesday.
Gabriel Heinze, Lionel Messi and Juan Roman Riquelme were all on the mark to ensure their place in Sunday's showpiece encounter at the Jose Pachencho Romero Stadium in Maracaibo.
Argentina will be bidding for a record 15th Copa America title against the seven-times and reigning champions Brazil, who struggled to defeat Uruguay 5-4 on penalties on Tuesday in the first semi-final, which ended 2-2 after regular time.
Both teams have looked at this as a means to overcome the disappointment of missing out in last year's World Cup in Germany and to lay the groundwork for qualifying for the 2010 edition in South Africa.
Robinho heads the race for the golden boot award with six goals, with Riquelme on five.
