MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Sweden defender and captain Andreas Granqvist could retire from international football after his side's match against Mexico at the FIFA World Cup in Russia, the player said Tuesday.

"This could be my last match for the national team, but right now we only think about the upcoming game and we'll discuss everything else later," Granqvist told journalists.

The 33- year-old will earn his 74th cap for Sweden when the Scandinavian team takes on Mexico in Yekaterinburg on Wednesday in a crunch Group F game.
