So Higuain and Maradona had a not 'cold' meeting

So the drama goes on, with Argentina heading into a huge show down with arch rival Brazil, and once again it appears that the Real Madrid striker, who tallied 22 goals last season, is not needed by Maradona, although they had a nice little "get together." Not really sure why Maradona does not see value in the player, he can obviously score goals, can play as the second striker or wide on the right. Of course Argentina does have a some solid offensive options - Messi, Tevez, Aguero, to name a few. Just not sure how you can leave a player who led Real Madrid in scoring and can give you some options offensively at home.

Hmmmm play on the right wing...he would look nice as the right winger in France's 4-2-3-1 formation....just a thought.

Higuain....for Les Bleus???

Hmmmm very interesting little note about Real Madrid's Higuain. The Real man who tallied 22 goals for Real last year seems to be absent from all of Maradona's plans for Argentina. Maybe that is because the young Franco-Argentine used to play for River Plate and not Boca...France and Higuain have been down this road before, Domench calling him up for a match against Greece where Higuain turned down Les Bleus saying he did not feel French (the land of his birth but where he did not even spend an entire year!) and that he always wanted to play for his father's native land. Cannot really fault him for that....however now that he is not getting called to the senior Argentine squad he is stating he might switch to France. While I would love to have the option to select him, and with the World Cup around the corner I am sure he wants to ensure he will be in South Africa (then again neither France nor Argentina are guaranteed to qualify!) as a player.

However, I think that this is a smoke screen, that Gonzalo is just trying to stir Maradona to select him and tie him to Argentina. If I were Domenech I would find a way to speak to the Madrid player, see how serious he is, and if he appears sincere....call him up and get him on the pitch for the Faroe Island game!! Lock him down with Les Bleus!!!!
