Caniggia wants Argentina call-up
The veteran striker insists he is serious about continuing to represent his nation - despite disappointment in the World Cup.
"I'm not joking," said Caniggia. "Why can't I play for Argentina in the Copa America?
"I can see the chance is small but it is not impossible and I am in good shape.
"I know the events of the World Cup make things difficult but that was last time and I would still like to bow out after playing in an important event.
"I feel I am capable of playing two games a week.
"I never said I wanted to retire and I never gave a date when I would hang up my boots.
"I am feeling good and if Marcelo Bielsa wants to call me into his squad I would go swimming back to Argentina."
