German and Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann has retired from international soccer after being left off Germany's World Cup squad.
Hamann played 59 times for Germany and scored five goals.
Hamann, 32, made his international debut against South Africa in 1997 and his last appearance was against the Netherlands in August 2005. He played for Germany at the 2002 World Cup.
"It's not really a big surprise to me I wasn't in the squad," Hamann told Liverpool's TV network. "I haven't spoken to the manager for the last three months so I didn't think there was much chance of me being included. That's it for me now at international level."
