Maradona talks up marvellous Messi

Argentina coach Diego Maradona picked out FC Barcelona's Lionel Messi as the star of his side's 2-0 win against France after the 21-year-old scored the second goal in Marseille. "Messi played fantastically," he said. "The ball is a part of his body, it is impossible to get it off him. When he has to lend a hand to the team he does that too."
