This is why he's rarely played for Argentina, they've dealt with it for years
tbf Higuain has bottled a sitter in each of the 3 finals Argentina has played, he is ultimately to blame for their lack of silverware.

He has only recently been left out and they have messi who always playsThis is why he's rarely played for Argentina, they've dealt with it for years
True but we all know Silva can't finish and finishing is the weakest part of his game...the same can't be said of SergioSergio getting a lot of stick but I thought Silva's miss was worse.
So frustrating given his quality.
I was up and celebrating as I thought he'd take that last one.
He seems to have lost a step. Still has that killer instinct but is losing the physicality to capitalise. In the past, when he received those "between" the lines passes to his feet, he would knock it on, turn on the afterburners, and get his shot away. Today he received three of those same passes and wasn't able to get off a shot from any of them, even with decent first touches on two of them. He is just not as athletic as he used to be, hence why nearly all of his goals come from running in behind the defender to finish low crosses now—that's more about anticipation and timing than pace. Do not misunderstand, I am very happy her still has that to his game, but I also miss the lethal Kun we had just a few years ago.
Perhaps it is down to the extra pressing duties... but I am not convinced that is the case. I just think he has been playing at such a high level for so long that his legs are going a bit earlier than they otherwise would. He still has the strength, just not the short distance burst that used to be his signature.
Still love him and his passion, though.
Once again, poor finishing let him down. Despite his relatively good numbers he seems to be a shadow of what he used to be.

so you are ignoring the facts infront of you and going of a generalised opinion.........yeah ok!
