And can I take this tangent to wonder aloud why Riquelme hasn't made his "big-money" move in Europe yet? I think if Argentina has a good showing at this WC he certainly ought to move to something more high-profile than Villareal.

FWIW - he did - he was at Barcelona, but they focused more on the fact that he's slow (and Barcelona has a great, up tempo system) and is a classic playmaker - Barcelona didn't play that way. He works well at Villareal, which is definitely a team on the up, becuse he has Senna in the midfield to do the dirty work for him, and all the plays run through him. He needs to be the focal point of an attack for his brand of genius to work, and it wasnt going to happen at Barca.
