Best South American striker?

We've grew up with the goal scoring superstar heroes of Latin America as part of the fabric of football folklore.

This summer most of the great and good of South American striking talent will be on show.

Who is your favourite? I'm leaving Messi out because he's arguably on a different Planet, although arguably has a point to prove at International level.

Suarez
Falcao (might be fit for the tournament, miraculously)
Neymar (would you class him as a striker?)
Aguero
Fred
Cavani
Adrian Ramos
Hulk
Lavezzi
Jackson Martinez
Palacio
Tevez
Higuain


Who do you like, who's all pants & no bulge? Some real tasty numbers on that list don't you think?

so then how did Higuain get in the Argentina squad and not Tevez?
------------------------
By Tevez' standards he has not had a great season, coupled with the fact that he does not score in Euro competitions,

dont forget the theory that the Argie gaffer played for Sheff Utd....and Tevez pretty much relegated them...so he's holding a grudge

Actually, Tevez has scored 19 goals in 31 games. for Juve.
That is a cracking!

Sheffield United[edit]Sheffield United had tried to sign the teenage Diego Maradona from Argentinos Juniors, however, manager Harry Haslam decided he was too expensive. Therefore, Sheffield turned to Sabella, and they signed him for £160,000 on 19 July 1978. He made his debut for "the Blades" in a 2–1 defeat against Leyton Orient on 19 August 1978. Unfortunately, the 'Blades' fans still recalled England midfielder Tony Currie, who had become a club legend.

Sabella played for United until 1980, scoring 8 league goals in 76 appearances. After relegation to the Third Division, manager Harry Haslam agreed a fee of £600,000 with Second Division club Sunderland. However, Sabella had ambitions to play in the First Division and refused to go. His final appearance for Sheffield United came with a goal in the County Cup (a regional competition between South Yorkshire teams) Final victory over Sheffield Wednesday on 8 May 1980.

His time at Sheffield United is regarded highly and he is often seen by blades fans as a Sheffield United Legend.

I am not sure how good Higuin is tbh, I don't think he would have been brilliant in current Arsenal team, he could do that at Madrid because he had ronaldo, maria and other quality around him.

I actually feel the opposite. It's a lot harder than it seems to bang so many goals in when the side puts so much emphasis on the wide players. Having Ozil in the side made things much easier for him, and funny enough, that would be exactly the same case at Arsenal now.



With Falcao, I don't know what it is, but I always have the feeling he's just a man in a purple patch. It's ridiculous, I know, because he's been banging them in for quite a few years now, but I can't shake the feeling that he'll fade into the distance the moment his confidence goes.

From what I have seen, and its limited to mainly PL and CL football I would go with

Suarez, Aguero and Tevez

Not seen nearly enough of Cavani or Falcao to comment and much as I like Higuain I dont think he is better than the 3 I mentioned.
