PHILIPP LAHM HANGS HIS INTERNATIONAL BOOTS AT 30 YEARS.

The German captain Philipp Lahm has decided to call it a day from international football at thirty yearsof age. Now the famous jersey number 16 is up for grabs. Philipp Lahm has informed the coach Jocheim Low of his decission, it comes after 113 caps for Germany. But he has said he will be continueing his club football with Bayern Munich. His last game for Germany was against Argentina in the world cup final, and winning the cup for the first time for a unified Germany. Philipp Lahm was once heavily fined over 25,000Euros for speaking to the paper about the transfer policies of Bayern Munich. But was it right for Philipp Lahm to retire so early, I am sure he could have played till the Euro 2016. But his shoes will be hard to fill, my choice Manuel Neuer would be good one to succeed him.
