not only does Andrea Pirlo play for Juve, he's been revitalized and is probably having his best season in 4 or 5 years. he's the metronome of that Juve team and does a great job of setting up the offense for a team that lacks a top striker.
Italy has 4 guys all in their mid-to-late 30s who have been excellent this season: Pirlo, del Piero, Totti and di Natale. Not quite as old but also in fantastic form is the 33 year old Klose. Must be the olive oil.
