The 19-year-old Argentine sensation is banging in goals aplenty for his Spanish club, Barcelona, in the world's best league, but he still can't find a place on the national side. Coach Marcelo Bielsa has an abundance of superb forwards to choose from (Gabriel Batistuta, Hernan Crespo, Claudio Lopez, Ariel Ortega, Kily Gonzales, Gustavo Lopez ... we could go on) and Saviola looks likely...
