Gonzalo is real quick and is a great finisher.

Reasons why Gonzalo doesn't play for Argentina:

1. Maradona is a douchebag, and practices favoritism.

2. Gonzalo was previously from River Plate (a club that Maradona hates) and is now in Real Madrid.

3. Maradona is a douchebag!

4. Maybe Messi has convinced Maradona to not call Higuain.

5. Maybe becasue Real Madrid told him not to leave when Argentina called him for the Olympics.

6. Maradona is a douchebag!

7. All of the reasons mixed together.
