@DDR: I have heard rumors about a tattoe with political extremist background he should have on his arm. But I doubt it. Does the long arm change from time to time? Sometimes its the left, sometimes its the right? It appears to me it has something to do with superstition...

I have heard the same, though I don't know when he would have had this done. There was a picture of him in the pool at his wedding reception, and it's not his left arm (unless it's been done since), and he never has one in older pictures I've seen of him at the beach, etc.

I would think it would be more widely reported if it were readily visible in those kinds of situations.

He is just superstitious. That's all.

Buffon in those cycling shorts :yuck:

What is it with men from south of the alps and their tendency to wear clothing that show of their genitalia

Every time I go on holiday - especially in France and Italy - men in Speedos seems to appear everywhere.

I don't know, and it especially seems to happen with older, fatter men.

Do you know what this superstition is about? Does it bring luck? Or is about something in particular?
Not sure what it is about, but there are some things he does before every match. Pumps players in the locker room, jumps before kick off etc...

The one long arm is part of that "ritual".
