World Cup 2018: 8 players who disappointed in Russia

Gonzalo Higuain (ST: Argentina/Juventus)

Higuain didn't manage a single minute in Argentina's final game against France

Argentina had a plethora of attacking options to choose from with Messi, Dybala, Di Maria, Aguero and Higuain all making the squad and even had the luxury of leaving Mauro Icardi at home. The Juventus forward netted 23 times in 50 appearances for the Bianconeri this season and looked set to have a fruitful tournament.

However, the 30-year-old failed to score in any of the three group games and was left on the bench in their last-16 game against France. This is a far cry from his 2010 World Cup performance where he was averaging a goal per game and his Serie A form this past season with a goal contribution 0.8 times per game.
