Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain refuses to rule out playing for France at next year's World Cup. While he remains uncapped, Argentine Higuain qualifies for France and said: "There are rumors that say that I am not attracted to playing for the Albiceleste, but it is completely untrue. It's one of my dreams.

"I work hard every day so Diego Maradona will call me. I want to play in the 2010 World Cup."

Asked about playing for France, Higuain added: "It's very flattering to know the coach of France is interested in you. You never know what can happen in the future."
