He most certainly was but that shouldn't be the motivation to play for your country imo.

He's getting a huge raise at Monaco or getting transferred to RM for $100m for his performances at the World Cup anyway, more than enough compensation.

Then FIFA shouldn't get tv money and sponsor money either, that poo poo aint a charity and people are making billions, at least the players will spend theirs on stupid poo poo instead of stashing it in a hedge fund that buys junk bonds

It's really weird as well. They spend years trying to put stars on other peoples clothes and only when that stops working do they start obsessing about putting them on their own.

Es ist ein unbestreitbarer Fußball-Fakt: Keine Nationalmannschaft hat in der Geschichte der Meisterschaft mehr Tore geschossen oder mehr Spiele gewonnen als Deutschland. Sie ist eine der erfolgreichsten Mannschaften der Welt mit einer langen Tradition von Bestleistungen und wird das auch 2014 in Brasilien unter Beweis stellen. Dieses Fußballtrikot für Männer ist eine Replik der Heimausrüstung und hat Cimacool® Ventilation, die dich kühl und trocken hält, wenn „Die Mannschaft" das Spielfeld zum Glühen bringt.

He supposedly made the decision to retire before the WC though, and he only switched back to RB during the tournament.

Also this would be incredibly dumb. Dude just wants to go out on high, why not.

He wouldn't be the first successful athlete that quits on a high. I mentioned Neuner earlier.
