I definitely sense the possibility of a Tolkien fanfic starring that new Middle-earth hero, Fernando.

Bah, why couldn't Ballack write "Eru, help us" or smth on his arm.
Maybe then we would have won...

Tengwar experts on the German Society's forum say that the spelling of "Fernando" in Tengwar is not entirely accurate, according to the rules given by Tolkien. I don't know if Torres is a Tolkien fan or if he's just another of those people who think the letters look cool ("so ask for a translation of your name on a Tolkien forum...").

At any rate, it's a connection between football and Tolkien, which JRRT might have enjoyed - though he preferred rugby, didn't he?
