2010 FIFA World Cup: Dimitar Berbatov Retires From International Play

Dimitar Berbatov announced his retirement from International Football today. The Manchester United striker failed to help Bulgaria qualify for South Africa and feels it's the right thing to do.

The 29-year-old has 77 caps for his country with 48 goals to his name making him the top goal scorer for Bulgaria.

Dimitar was the captain of the national team and says: "I came to the decision that as of now I have retired from the national team. It wasn't a decision I took lightly and I have reconsidered several times."

Berbatov will now focus on his club football, with recent speculation regarding his stay at OldTrafford, many feel it's time he part ways with United after failing to impress.

Bulgaria will play World Cup host South Africa in a friendly match at the newly built Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg. The stadium which seats 94 000, will host the World Cup opening and final game.
