Arm candies of the Golden Ball's shortlisted players

The annual Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo fistfight called the FIFA Ballon d’Or award ceremony will be taking place very soon on 7 January 2013 in Zurich, Switzerland. With all the glitz and glamour of the event, the players will put their football jerseys aside, don a snazzy suit and are often accompanied by their beautiful WAGs in tow as well.

Here are some arm candies of a few of the original shortlisted male players for the 2012 FIFA Ballon d’Or award. The list has since been cut down to the top three nominees: Messi, Ronaldo and Andrés Iniesta.
