The ballon is already decided this year.
To think otherwise is ridiculous.
Yeah, people are overreacting if they think a documentary will win him the award.
None of that matters, hard to forget that in 2015 Barca won the treble with Messi being the main protagonist. Even if that award is a joke, it will finally be at the hands of its rightful ownerYou'd think so, yet I'm not underestimating the power of the media, just look at LFP player of the month and best goal of CL going to CR, his movie coming out, spanish gov going after Messi again even after he paid a 53M€ fine, look at the timing of all this ... this world is not always as logical/fair as it should be.
I hope i'm wrong, cause if the 2013 one was a robbery, this one would be a mob job!
I heard a rumor that there will be an extended version later on Blu-ray & DVD which will include all his penalties. Will be 4,5 hours long.
Should release a 3D version of his dives.

This is ridiculous mate. Messi could get injured for the rest of the season and he would still walk away with the award. Its over. Generally speaking you only get the award if you win trophies. 2016 will be interesting though.
Well, Ronaldo managed to win the Balon D'Or in 2013 after a trophyless season with RM while beating a player that was an instrumental part of a Treble winning team. Sounds awkwardly familiar.
Ribery is no Messi.
Thank God he is not. UEFA will still try everything to make Ronaldo win. Don't be surprised if the voting deadline is extended again.
In 2015:
Messi 35 appearances, 35 goals, 19 assists.
Ronaldo 30 appearances, 29 goals, 10 assists.
Then you factor in the treble and Messi's huge goals and there's maybe 1% chance Ronaldo wins. If Messi wins Copa America then it's over for Ronaldo.
Well La liga starts in September (august but not that many games in august ) so Ronaldo has like 2-3 whole months to get a shitton of goals and assists.
He won't top a treble , no way. And a possible Copa America.
