And the winner of the Ballon D'Or is ...

The official announcement of the Ballon D'Or is made tonight but have France Football already given the game away?

A look at their website advertising the awards ceremony shows a picture of this evening's winner holding the glistening trophy. All you are supposed to see are his hands. But look a little closer and you can see the reflection of the recipient's face in the shiny bauble.

To us, it looks like Cristiano Ronaldo. Or maybe Kaka. What do you think? Click on this link and judge for yourself.

You can see the winners reflection in the top of the ball. Looks like Ronaldo, especially the ease with which he has the ball in two hands... was that a whistle?

That IS Ronaldo. Zoom in on flash file and rotate.

Looks like the pictures of Kaka from last year to me.

Chill out, it's Kaka from last years photo. Talk about something of nothing...

What are you talking about? The picture is Kaka from last year. Look at the other photos in the series. You can tell from the cut of his jib, f'gawdsake.

Eh, that's a picture from last year's award ceremony. It's clearly Kaka in the reflection and if you click the little "3" in the bottom left of the box, it pans out to reveal Kaka holding it.

It's last year's award. They're not that stupid.

obviously ronaldo, his hands are the same and face is reasonably recognisable.
