Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora? Real Madrid (R)

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

I really doubt anyone in the press wouldnt have pointed this out, they are THAT boludos.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

Higuain has just been officially called by Domenech in the French National Team.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

I guess now it's finally time for him to finally decide who he wants to play for.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

His family doesn't have a different passport, he is the only one in his family born outside of Argentina (I think)

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

His father has a passport from living there I think.

And he can still play for Argentina later since this is only a friendly.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

According to Ole if he accepts France's selection then he will not be able to represent Argentina.

Apparantely he is going to make an announcement on Monday, if I was a betting man I'd put some money on him choosing Argentina over France.

Then again I'm crap at betting.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

Quite strange: according to the French press Gonzalo Higuain doesn't have a dual nationality: he's French only, he doesn't have argentinian papers

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

nationality rule sucks.

I'm sure the Chileans won't mind if we call up the Argentinian-born from Colo Colo.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

leon, don't take my word for it but i think mega is right. since its only a friendly i think he would still be eligable to play for argentina. but seriously, i really don't care which one he chooses. not because i don't like the kid but i think there's PLENTY of options if he decides to choose france. which i think he will.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

So I guess it is not a guarantee that they will allow him to change and he could still play for France forever not to lose the European passport and be worth more to European teams.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

I agree with you. I mean he has become news lately and it's an interesting talking point but Argentina have so many strikers at the moment who are ahead of him (something incidently I think will be the main reason he will choose France) in the pecking order to be in NT that it's no big deal if he goes with France.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

But it doesn't mean we should just give away one of the most promising players in Argentina !!!! specially since he is a goleador de area.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

Agreed Illrod! Reading an interview with Higuain's dad in AS it does seem he would prefer to play for Argentina, but here's the thing, he does not have dual nationality, just French. So presumably he would need to apply for Argentine citizenship, all a bit odd really.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

that means that el pipita takes a spot in river as a forigner?

lo inscribieron en el torneo como extrangero?

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

Claro. En TyC sports tienen un show que se llama 'los ambajadores de la apertura' que se trata de entrevistar a jugadores latino americanos jugando en argentina y el es uno de los jugadores que muestran en la propaganda.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

in that case, who is going to win big games for river?

Boca fans want him in france......

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

i haven't seen this guy play, actually i have never seen him. What type of striker is he? Is he tall? because before i make some decision about him i got to know this thing. if he is a crespo type player then i want us to have him but if he is more like messi, Tevez, Aguero let him go.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

to me he is talented, but small for his position (age has something to do with size and volume)
not very muscular and smart in the field - Knows were to be and fast at times
good ball handler and passer

with real bad hair day every sunday on Fox

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

no way dude, im boca fan and I want him for la selección

antes que nada, LA SELECCIÓN

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

Exactly what I was thinking. Argentina has a pretty big crop of players in that position who are better than him. He probably has a better chance of sooner playing for the senior France NT than for Argentina.

Plus let's not overrate him either. He's good, his game against Boca was his breakthrough but he's pretty inconsistent and misses alot of opportunities. Belluschi has been far and away Rivers best player this season and the reason they are even competing for the league.

What he should have done is taken a spot in the U-20 Argentina squad.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

He's not like Crespo. He's just like those players you mentioned. And I rate all of those players plus Palacio, Saviola, Milito ahead of Higuain.

His advantage is that he's so young. Thus he should have taken a spot in the U-20 team insted of being a desperate gallinita.

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

What. The. F*ck?

He was thinking of his career when he decided not to take a spot on the Sub-20, and you come up with that line?

Bitter because the Gallinero has hatched some golden eggs while you guys are still buying yours?

Re: Pipita Higuain ... Y ahora?

How was he thinking of his career? I just see it as wanting to get first team football already when he's still young as has his whole career ahead of him. He could have done great things in the youth teams and later on when needed slowly moved up to the senior team. Right now he's not needed in the senior team at all. There are a bunch of better players ahead of him in that position. He probably knows that and might opt for France since as ASF said they probably need him more and has a better chance of starting sooner.

And this has nothing to do with producing or buying players. But you can continue to say that to make yourself feel better as Boca cruises to el tri .
