retirement from international football. He made a record 124 appearances for Czech Republic. The 34-year old made his debut in 2002 but says he just couldn't carry on to the next World Cup. "It is a definite decision,"
"The fact we did not win at the Euros had no effect on my decision, although obviously I would have preferred a triumphant farewell.
"I like to do things 100 per cent and there will come a time where I have to ease the burden on myself. That time may not be now, but qualification for the World Cup takes two years and it would not have been right to announce that I do not feel I can carry on in the middle of that.
"Therefore it is better to make the decision now and close a beautiful chapter."
"We lived some amazing moments together - wishing the team all the best for the future." Czech Republic Football Association (FACR) congratulated him, "Petr Cech has announced the end of his Czech representation. He played in 124 games, which nobody has beaten. Petr, thank you for everything!."
