Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has retired from international football after being overlooked for Germany's World Cup squad.
TRhje 32-year-old won 59 caps and scored five goals, among them the last ever goal at the old Wembley Stadium when Germany beat England in an October 2000 World Cup qualifier.
"It's not really a big surprise to me I wasn't in the squad," he said on www.liverpoolfc.tv. "That's it for me now at international level. I'm 32 now and this would have been my last tournament."
