This issue i think is really getting boring,maybe a German should have won the award,but it doesn't still mean that Messi was a terrible choice as some people are making it to seem,he actually won four man of the match awards at the world cup more than anyone at the tournament,with 4 goals and 1 assist,but the truth is a German,maybe Neuer,Muller or Lahm should have won the award.
Please share with us in the comment section below on what you think about this issue,and continue for what Blatter said.
Blatter, who has said in the past that he thought Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer had earned the accolade, slammed the award process only a few hours after Messi was named among the 23-man shortlist for the Fifa Ballon d'Or.
"I think the decision to give Messi the Golden Ball was incorrect," he told reporters at a press event in Moscow, Russia, as he inspected preparations for the next World Cup.
"I was surprised when I received the committee’s decision. They told me they had only looked at 10 of the players who took part in the final."
Messi has won the Ballon d'Or four times in his career, although in the past 18 months his stock has fallen somewhat, despite still being considered one of the greatest players in the world.
A silverware-free season in 2013-14 with Barcelona - aside from the Supercopa, which came longer than 12 months ago - and a failure to skipper Argentina to World Cup glory makes a Ballon d'Or 2014 victory unlikely, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Arjen Robben and Neuer among the more favoured.
