FREI RETIRES FROM INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL

Switzerland star Alexander Frei has retired from international football with immediate effect. The Basel striker stated that Switzerland's Euro 2012 qualifier away against England on June 4, 2011 will be his last match for the Schweizer Nati.

"I considered many positive wishes, requests and tips from everyone who encouraged me to continue with the national team," the 31-year-old forward was quoted as saying by reporters.

"At the same time, I took into consideration signals from those groups that have recently made no secret of their opinion that my time with the national team was up."
