United States defender DaMarcus Beasley, capped 121 times and the only American to play in four World Cups, announced his retirement from the national team on Monday.
The 32-year-old, who played in Europe for PSV Eindhoven, Rangers and Manchester City, published a statement on his instagram social media account.
"Representing my country has been the greatest thing I've done in my career. Everytime I've pulled on our colors I tried to represent myself, my family and my country with the utmost respect," said Beasley.
Beasley, who began his career as a midfielder but was converted into a full-back for the national team, currently plays for Houston Dynamo in Major League Soccer.
Greg Garza, who plays for Tijuana in Mexico, has taken over the left-back slot for Juergen Klinsmann's team following the World Cup in Brazil.
