    Per Mertesacker retires from International football

    Per Mertesacker retires from international duty with Germany

    - World Cup-winning Arsenal defender ends international career
    - Earned 104 caps in 10-year spell in the German national team




    The Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker has ended his international career at the age of 29. The centre-back, who won the World Cup in his final game with Germany in Brazil, won 104 caps and scored four goals.

    Mertesacker made his international debut in October 2004, against Iran aged just 20, after making an impressive start to the season at the heart of Hannover’s defence.

    The 6ft 6in defender follows Germany’s captain in Brazil, Philipp Lahm, and the World Cup’s all-time record goalscorer, Miroslav Klose, into retirement.

    What a man.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    He's only 29, could've easily played himself into the squad for the next Euros. Especially if Low is in charge. Not sure this changes that much in terms how much longer he plays because he still has done his miles on the clock. But hopefully the club have given him a flu jab as well and then he should be fresh for games after the int. breaks.

    Yeah he certainly has another Euro's and possibly even a world cup in him.

    Though with Hummels and Boateng at the level they're at now and with Badstubber and Ginter coming through he probably realises he's not as needed as he was during Germany's revival period and wants to go out on a high. This is unlike certain English players who linger about like a bad smell accumulating caps just for the sake of it.

    I don't think there's anything wrong in accruing as many caps as possible myself.....
