Batistuta rose above team mate Mauricio Pochettino as both were looking to get onto the end of a deep corner from Juan Sebastian Veron, but Batistuta's striker's instincts ensured he was in a better position to score. It ensured him a place in an exclusive club of only 10 players who have scored 10 or more goals in World Cup history.

Other Sport Awseome Argentina worthy of top billing ARGENTINA PROFILE: Despite being drawn in the Group of Death, a breathtaking Argentina side should live up to their favourites tag, writes Paul Doyle Most people expect Argentina to be crowned world champions this summer, and if they do lift the trophy no one will contest their worthiness, since the draw ensures their route to the final will be a hellish one. Pitted into the obligatory Group of Death, Marcello Bielsas boys will have to battle their way past Sweden, Nigeria, and England in order to set up a possible second round clash with holders France and a quarter-final against arch-rivals Brazil. It may not pan out quite like that, of course, but the possibility of such a trial will surely mean the Argentines will roar into the tournament from the off. And thats bad news for the rest of the world, because when on form, Argentina are breathtaking.

SMS Player profiles Gabriel Omar Batistuta Even far from his native Argentinean shores, Gabriel Omar Batistuta - or "Batigol" for short - is recognised as one of the world's greatest strikers. And yet his career began surprisingly late in life. Born on 1 February, 1969, it wasn't until he reached the age of 17 that he switched from basketball to football. Yet only two years later, aged 19, he won the South American club championship the Copa Libertadores - in his very first season at Argentinean club Newell's Old Boys. A year later he moved to Buenos Aires and River Plate, with whom he won his first Argentinean championship in 1990. But his time there would prove short, and he abandoned them for local rivals Boca Juniors after just one season.

Extractions: Chinese fans were shocked when soccer star Gabriel Batistuta announced his retirement and Chinese media surged to praise Argentina 's all-time scorer on Tuesday, yet with a touch of sadness and nostalgia. The 36-year-old striker has won over countless Chinese fans with his loyalty, thunderous finishes and good looks. In China, fans prefer to call him "Bati" as most foreign counterparts do and his lack of trophies in his 17-year career can not dent their love for him. "The day finally came when Bati, a great warrior and a legend, bade farewell to soccer," Peng Aihua, a self-claimed avid fan of Argentine soccer, wrote on the Chinese website Sina.com. Another fan who named himself Zhuang's Fish said it was Bati who made him fall in love with soccer.
Extractions: First Published: Oct 25, 2001 Gabriel Batistuta reurns to the Argentina squad to round off their World Cup qualifying campaign. The record goal scorer for the Argentine should take some part as Marcelo Bielsa's team meet Peru and Uruguay in qualifiers next month. Argentina sealed their World Cup place in August allowing Bielsa to experiment. The coach has left out Hernan Crespo, midfielder Diego Simeone, and Inter defender Nelson Vivas who all have injuries while Lazio midfielder Lucas Castroman is the only new cap with River Plate play maker Ariel Ortega to be added later to the squad. The squad in full - Goalkeepers - Pablo Cavallero (Celta Vigo) and German Burgos (Atletico Madrid). Defenders - Roberto Ayala (Valencia), Roberto Sensini (Parma), Walter Samuel (Roma), Mauricio Pochettino (PSG) and Diego Placente (Bayer Leverkusen). Midfielders - Kily Gonzalez, Pablo Aimar (both Valencia), Matias Almeyda (Parma), Marcelo Gallardo (Monaco), Juan Sebastian Veron (Manchester United), Lucas Castroman (Lazio), Claudio Husain (Napoli), Javier Zanetti (Inter) and Juan Pablo Sorin (Cruzeiro).
Extractions: First Published: Jun 02, 2002 Argentina struggled to break down Nigerias packed defence for an hour but a well-worked corner kick routine final paid off for star striker Gabriel Batistuta. The AS Roma striker hit four goals in four games in 1995 and five in five at France 98 and he is off the mark again to rescue his side after a poor first half when the Nigerian tactics of a ten-man defence saw the South Americans struggle to get chances. But one constant threat for Argentina were the set pieces of Juan Veron and he had put Batistuta in at the far post from corners for two good chances before the veteran finally took one. Nigeria were obviously concentrating on defence but nobody marked Batistuta at corners which was the main flaw in their negative tactics. On 62 minutes Veron launched a far post corner that went beyond the goal but was diverted into the net by Batistuta with another Argentine also close to touching the chance in.

The bonus was supposed to have been paid last year, when Nigeria became the first African team to qualify for the World Cup. With player complaints mounting the Nigerian Football Association decided to finally pay the bonuses later this month, Radio Lagos reported Friday. The amount of the bonuses has not been made public, but players will reportedly get paid based on how many qualifying games they played.
