see the match against atletico. Chelsea wouldn't have conceded at least 1-2 goals if he was playing

Terry is tactically fine and great at set pieces, but not agile enough to deal with one-on-one's against good dribblers nor sharp enough to deal with surprising situations. These two weaknesses of his have been multiplied in the last couple of years when he has lost some pace as well. I'm not saying he's crap, but nowadays he is too often unable to stop an attacker when he is expected to.

"I am today announcing my retirement from international football.

"I would like to thank the England managers who have selected me for my 78 caps. I have had great pleasure in sharing that honour with all the players that I've played with.

"I would like to thank them, the fans and my family for their support and encouragement during my international career. Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy and it has been a truly great honour.

"I have always given my all and it breaks my heart to make this decision. I want to wish Roy [Hodgson] and the team every success for the future.

"I am making this statement today in advance of the hearing of the FA disciplinary charge because I feel the FA, in pursuing charges against me where I have already been cleared in a court of law, have made my position with the national team untenable.

"I now look forward to playing for Chelsea FC, and challenging for domestic and European honours, and I want to thank the fans and the club for their continued support."

Terry's statement.

Seems he has been given the nod that the FA will find him guilty.

England won't miss him, it was time anyway to look for younger players.

This may be indication that he's been told he will be found guilty by the FA on those racism charges.

A french website had written that he was retiring from football, foregtting the international part. I thought it was strange when I read it.

Englands defence is f...ked without him ....just saying

by norton Mon Sep 24, 2012 1:53 am

Terry has never been a great defender in a world wide sense. In England where defenders are in general very mediocre, he was ok. There are defenders that are in La Liga and Serie A lower table clubs that are far better.

Terry has been one of the greatest defenders of his generation.

He is going to be missed the the national team. No one can make up for what he brings to the field.

by FennecFox7 Mon Sep 24, 2012 2:04 am

Terry at his prime was great, but you know that once step slower and he would have alot of trouble. This is what we are seeing here.

by McAgger Mon Sep 24, 2012 4:11 am

Best news the England NT has heard in years. Now they just need Gerrard, Cole, Rio, and Lampard to retire so they can draw a curtain on the previous generation and start from scratch.

England wont miss him tbh.

thats like saying Spain won't miss Iker.

He will be missed, not because he is better than everyone else but because he is the leader, he is the captain even if he got stripped of the armband.

I remember Gerrard saying before the 2010 WC that he believed JT was still the captain and JT still acted like the captain despite the fact he lost the armband.

by Highburied Mon Sep 24, 2012 7:16 am

Take off the FANBOY's Shades and admit the fact that Terry is past it and he made a right decision retiring from NT.

He wont be missed in NT.

64% - England won 64% of the 78 games that John Terry played, compared to 59% in the 32 matches without him.

He will be missed.

England will miss the leader that he is. I can guarantee you that.

Former England captain John Terry has retired from international football with immediate effect, stating that the FA have made his position in the team "untenable".

The 31-year-old defender is set to begin a personal hearing on Monday to deny that he used "abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour" against Anton Ferdinand in a Premier League match against QPR last October.

Terry has been cleared of racially abusing the R’s man at Westminster Magistrates' Court in July, and cites the governing body’s independent panel as the main focus of his decision.

"I feel The FA have made my position with the national team untenable," Terry said in a statement.

"Representing and captaining my country is what I dreamed of as a boy and it has been a truly great honour.

"I have always given my all and it breaks my heart to make this decision. I wish Roy and the team every success for the future.

"I would like to thank the England managers who have selected me for my 78 caps.

"I have had great pleasure in sharing that honour with all the players that I've played with.

"I would like to thank them, the fans and my family for their support and encouragement during my international career."

Terry has previously insisted that he would never retire from international duty for England ahead of the court hearing in May.

He told The Sun: "I'm not going to throw away my international career for anyone, I am proud to represent my country, I will never turn my back on England."

Terry made 78 appearances for the national team since making his debut in 2003 against Serbia and Montenegro, and first captained the side in a World Cup qualifier against Poland.

The Chelsea skipper was keen to underline his determination to continue representing the Blues in domestic football.

He added: "I now look forward to playing for Chelsea FC, and challenging for domestic and European honours, and I want to thank the fans and the club for their continued support."
