El messiah better than Forlan…

Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has declared that Argentina star Lionel Messi deserved the World Cup Golden Ball more than Uruguay striker Diego Forlan. Forlan surprised many after he collected the honour following some outstanding performances in which he contributed five goals to the Celeste’s fourth place finish. Del Bosque, who lead la Furia Roja to glory in South Africa, said he would have liked if one of his players claimed the individual accolade but insisted that if it was up to him the Barcelona talisman’s efforts at the finals would have been recognised. “Apart from our own [players] I preferred Messi. Each game he played he made 20 chances to score, he is a phenomenon,” said Del Bosque, as quoted by Sport. “We would have liked it to have been one of us. Messi deserves the Golden Ball more than Forlan.”
