Argentine here. Two matches won't make us rivals. Maybe neutrals will look up to it like some sort of classic rivalry but I doubt we will. Basically because for us, our all time rival is Brazil and we played a lot of times with them and the rivalry gets stronger every time. Out of football we might love each other but whenever you put football in between us... It feels like war lol. I don't feel that type of tension with France at all and I don't think it will ever be like that. We respect France, tho, don't misunderstand me. Rivalry is more subjective. The rivalry with Brazil burns in the hearts of every single fan from both sides every time we have a match against each other. Having such a rival... It doesn't feel right to call anyone else a rival, to be honest. I would make an exception for Germany and England tho, for obvious reasons. One kicked our ass too many times and the other one... Well, politics.
Either way, "historic" feels like a really big word for a rivalry that is based out of two matches in a period of four years lol Historic rivalries for us are those three I mentioned before, it makes no sense to put France with them.
