World Cup 2014: Sepp Blatter questions Lionel Messi award

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has said he was surprised that Lionel Messi won the World Cup Golden Ball award.
Messi, 27, was named the tournament's best player despite a 1-0 defeat to Germany in the final on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro.
"I was a little bit surprised when I saw Messi coming up to collect the best player of the competition," said Blatter, who presented the award.
Argentine legend Diego Maradona has also called the award "unfair".
The Golden Ball and other individual prizes, such as the Golden Glove award for the best goalkeeper, are voted for by Fifa's Technical Study Group, a panel of analysts including former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier.

What is Fifa's Technical Study Group?
The Golden Ball and other individual awards are chosen by Fifa's Technical Study Group, a 13-strong committee who analyse matches at international tournaments.
The group was set up after the 1966 World Cup to monitor trends and developments in the game.
Current members include former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier and ex-Hibernian boss Mixu Paatelainen.
Former Nigeria midfielder Sunday Oliseh and Ricki Herbert, who managed New Zealand at the 2010 World Cup, are also on the committee, which currently has no British representative.
Roy Hodgson was due to be invited into the Technical Study Group before he was appointed England manager in Euro 2012.
Blatter said he believed Messi was awarded the prize on the strength of his performances in the tournament's group stage, where he scored four goals.
"If you compare the beginning of the tournament and why finally the Argentina team got into the final, they were decisive and I think it was a decision [based on that]," he said.
However, Messi failed to score any goals in the knockout stages despite his team's run to the final.
The player was unmoved by the accolade, telling Spanish newspaper AS: "Right now I don't care about the prize. I don't care about anything. I wanted to take Argentina to the World Cup for all the people."
Maradona also questioned the decision to give Messi the award, and blamed "marketing people" for the controversial choice.

"I could see he didn't want to go up and collect it," said Maradona, who was named the best player when Argentina won the World Cup in 1986.
Speaking on his television programme De Zurda, Maradona said that Colombia playmaker James Rodriguez should have received the award.
Rodriguez finished as the competition's top scorer with six goals from five games as Colombia reached the quarter-finals before losing to hosts Brazil.
Messi was only a sporadic threat during the knockout stages, setting up his side's winner against Switzerland in the last 16 but struggling in thesemi-final against the Netherlands, which Argentina won on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
The Barcelona player then failed to have a decisive impact in the final, missing a clear chance to put his side ahead when put through on goal by Lucas Biglia.
Fifa's Technical Study Group awarded the Silver Ball - for the tournament's second-best player - to Germany's Thomas Muller, with Arjen Robben of the Netherlands winning the Bronze Ball for his influential displays.
Germany's Manuel Neuer collected the Golden Glove, while France's Paul Pogba was named the tournament's best young player.
