Age ain't nothing but a number

Yesterday defending World Cup champions Italy were held to a 1-1 draw by scrappy underdogs New Zealand. Italy has yet to win a game this World Cup; instead, they've tied both of their matches so far.

Italy's team has been said to have a "geriatric feel." In fact, captain Fabio Cannavaro is 37, a ripe old age in soccer. But I say Fabio is one case of timeless allure (at least off the field)!

Italy plays its last game in this phase Thursday against Slovakia.

HAPPY MONDAY!
