Administrators Philip Rolfe Posted June 20, 2012 Administrators Share Posted June 20, 2012 Have seen Shevchenko and now Voronin announce their international retirements, whilst Van Bommel has hinted that he's stepping aside too (not quite retirement though). Anyone else? Plus, keep track of them here like! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOStriker Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 If we're including speculation I know there's been a fair bit of buzz that any/all of Given, Keane, Duff & Dunne could retire for Republic of Ireland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Yeah, they mentioned 4 Irish the other night before the game - "won't want to go out with defeat etc.", although they didn't name names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 van Bommel has retired, with the provision he'd still be available if the NT need him in emergencies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPlanet Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't think any of the current selected England squad would hang up their boots after this, Terry, Gerrard, Cole are the older players but I can't see them turning their back on their country. Some of the non-picked players might, Rio for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I can see Gerrard doing it, tbh. He suffers a lot of niggling injuries, and this may help prolong his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Adam Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I reckon Gerrard, Terry, Rio, Cole, Barry, Parker and Lampard will all retire after the next WC (if still getting selected). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machetero Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 NOT VORONIN!!!! Nooooooooooooooo Why?) He never played well for the national team. 8 goals in 74 games. Tymoshuk may retire as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machetero Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Think he was joking. Hope so) most fans here breathed out when Blokhin finally dropped him from the squad for the game with England. Dynamo Kiev fans will be even more elated in case Milevskiy gets sold to Spurs or anywhere else (they will gladly pack his belongings, including Mazeratti and alcoholic mate Aliev) )) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RubenJ Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Nooooooo Puyol is 34 iirc. Wouldn't be surprised if he retires (yeah, I know he's not at the Euros). when he got the injury, I think he denied speculations he might retire from international football. if he keeps struggling with injury though, I can definitely see it happen. Real shame he missed this tournament, could have been his last great feat for Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPlanet Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Baros retired, possibly Rosicky. While Rosicky is mulling over his options, Baros has already taken the plunge. The former Liverpool striker, who is now on the books of Galatasaray, has decided to step out of the international arena. Baros walks away having made 93 appearances for the Czech Republic and scored 41 goals. "He only said it to the guys in the locker room, I can't quote him," said Czech team spokesman Jaroslav Kolar in the wake of the Portugal defeat. "The other players and the coach reacted with a big applause that lasted about five minutes. It was pretty long and it was pretty emotional." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machetero Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Whats the deal with Milevskiy? I thought he was meant to be really promising, but he's never kicked on. How comes? Guessing bad attitude from what you illuded to there... He was considered one of the most talented young CFs since about 17 (alongside with his friend Aliev- playmaker which was prised as the best midfielder on one youth friendly tournament with Messi playing there). But he drinked and clubbed heavily till about 2005. Than he showed several nice seasons - since 2007 till about early 2011, including 2008/2009 when Dynamo reached 1/2 of UEFA cup and lost to their main rival, both football and political - Shakhtar Donetsk. Last season he just stopped playing again. Night clubs, drag racing on his fancy cars, etc. The only chance to start playing again is to move on to one of the European clubs far far away from Kiev night life. P.S. Milevskiy 1,5 days after 0-1 to England where Artem missed a 100% header. http://s017.radikal.ru/i431/1206/b3/781c00e29731.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man11 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Baros retired, possibly Rosicky. Had a pretty woeful tournament (Baros that is). Can barely remember him doing anything at all in all 4 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
