Diego Maradona took a swipe at Lionel Messi the day after his World Cup heartache by insisting the heir to his throne didn't deserve to win the Golden Ball award.Messi was welcomed home by Argentina President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, who admitted she 'didn't see a single match', after
Germany's 1-0 win at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.And the four-time Ballon d'Or winner, who looked almost apologetic to be named player of the tournament, only won the award because of a 'marketing plan', says Maradona.'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.'Maradona added on his television show, De Zurda: 'I could see he didn't want to go up and collect it.'Messi won the Golden Ball ahead of a number of arguably more worthy candidates.
