Phillip Lahm

I thought he might stay on until the Euro's, but good forhim. He is clearly not driven by egotistical motives and there must be a good replacement knocking on the door who will benefit hugely from playing in the euro qualifiers and will have good tournament experience before the next world cup. You've got to admire the collective mentality the Germans have now.

Aye. It was nice to hear how Ozil donated his winnings to the Brazilian kids thing too.

Gives Schweinsteiger a chance to captain some tournaments too

Never really gotten the credit he deserves IMO.

Most consistent full back in the last 10 years? It's between him and Cole, arguments for both. Definitely the benchmark of what a top level player should aspire to.

Seems young to quit. Why not go on and try for a euros medal?
