Argentina icon Diego Maradona
feels Lionel Messi did not deserve
to win the Golden Ball following
his performances at the World
Cup.
The Barcelona star beat the likes
of Thomas Muller, Arjen Robben and James Rodriguez to the
prestigious individual award after scoring four goals in seven
performances at this summer's tournament and guiding his
team to the final, yet Maradona feels the 27-year-old only
won it for commercial reasons.
"Messi? I would give him heaven if possible," Maradona said
during his show on Telesur.
"But it's not right when someone wins something that he
shouldn't have won just because of some marketing plan."
Maradona then went on to voice his disappointment with
Argentina's 1-0 defeat in Sunday's final against Germany
following Mario Gotze's goal in extra-time.
"I feel sorry for my country. Mario Gotze's goal really hurt.
There's a huge sadness in my heart that we lost the final.
"All things put together, I think Argentina deserved at least
penalties. That Germany won was the result of a
misunderstanding in the Argentine defence."
The 1986 World Cup winner also had his say on Alejandro
Sabella's decision to replace Ezequiel Lavezzi with Sergio
Aguero at half-time and argued that the Argentina boss got
things wrong.
"I don't understand the substitution of Lavezzi. He was
phenomenal down the wing. Kun Aguero didn't have the same
impact. It was not his tournament."

Nonsense. does Thomas muller or robben or James rodriguez play for Manchester united? come on Thomas muller had more impact, played better and was more consistent than messi. That award is Thomas muller's but since messi is more facially handsome than muller he got the award. even take a look at messi's face you will understand that he understands that he did not merrit the award

SMH for fifa mafia.
