German Midfielder Toni Kroos Retires From International Football!

German Midfielder Toni Kroos Retires From International Football! The German international midfielder has called it quits on an 11 year international career.

Toni Kroos has retired from the international game after Germany’s exit at Euro 2020. The Germans lost 2-0 to England in the last 16 at Wembley Stadium.

Kroos insists that he wishes to now focus on Real Madrid and his own family.

“I've played for Germany 106 times. There won't be another time.” Kroos said on his Instagram account.

“I would have dearly wished, and I gave everything again, that there would have been 109 internationals in the end and that this one big title, the European Championship, would have been added at the end.

“I had made the decision to quit after this tournament for a long time. It had been clear to me for a long time that I would not be available for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

“Mainly because I want to focus fully on my goals with Real Madrid for the next few years. In addition, from now on I will deliberately allow myself breaks that have not existed as a national player for eleven years.

“And moreover, as a husband and dad, I would also like to be there for my wife and three children.It was a great honor for me to be able to wear this jersey for such a long time.

“I did it with pride and passion. Thanks to all fans and supporters who carried and supported me with their applause and cheers.

“And thanks to all the critics for their extra motivation. At the very end I would like to say thank you very much to Jogi Löw.

“He made me a national player and world champion. He trusted me.

“We have written a success story for a long time. It was an honor for me, doing it well – and good luck and success to Hansi Flick.

“Your Toni
