The only current player present on this list, one feels that Higuain could one day be pushing for the top places in Argentina's striking hall of fame. Indeed, his experience of the World Cup so far has been extremely positive. 

Just one year after debuting officially for the Seleccion, Pipita was leading the attack in Diego Maradona's 2010 squad and repaid his coach's faith with plenty of goals. Higuain hit four in that ultimately disappointing tournament, a feat managed only by Gabriel Batistuta, Mario Kempes, Stabile and Maradona himself at the competition. 

A hat-trick, moreover, against South Korea also confirmed his place in history, matching the achievement of Stabile and Batigol as the third Argentine to celebrate a World Cup triple.
