Totti may stay with Azzurri

Francesco Totti is having second thoughts over his decision to retire from international football following Italy's World Cup final victory over France.

Earlier this summer, Totti announced his intention to step down from international duty at the end of the tournament to spend more time with his family But the 29-year-old admits he is now considering a change of heart after the Azzurri`s stunning success in Germany.

"How can I leave the national team right now?" said Totti, who made his senior international debut in 2000 and has since won over 50 caps. "Of course, it will be beautiful to leave on a high having been crowned world champions.I will however, reflect in the next few days."

He added: "At the moment it's 50-50."

Totti was a major doubt to even figure in the World Cup after suffering a serious leg injury back in February.

But he made a remarkable recovery to earn a call up into Lippi`s squad and scored the decisive stoppage-time winner over Australia in the last 16.

And despite being taken off against France in the final, Totti was delighted to play his part in helping Italy win their fourth World Cup.

He added: "For me, the most beautiful thing is to have made it here considering the injury I had.

"I give myself a seven out of 10 but I do give the team 10 out of 10. This team has been fantastic, as a group we have been able to achieve something great."

I just finished watching the match between Germany and Argentina. A hard game. I was sad to see my friend Messi get eliminated, but that’s the type of game where either side has a good chance of winning.

My first feeling at the end of the World Cup final was one of guilt. Now that might seem a strange emotion but I genuinely thought I could have done more to influence the result of the game.

How often since I was a child I have dreamed of winning and touching that Cup! Now that we've done it I'm feeling an incredible, almost indescribable, joy. Before the World Cup, things were written about me which, quite frankly, I didn't think I deserved.

An amazing World Cup has come to an end. Italy took the title in a dramatic final after a thrilling penalty shoot-out. In 1990, we won the World Cup in Italy. In 2006, the Italians have done the same to us.

In the past 6 months I tried to give you an insight on how I look at The Game. For one, there are many ways to look at it. Skills, competition, style, transfers, gusto and last but definitely not least, the media, are all part of The Game.
