Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro is planning to retire from the national team after the World Cup.
Speaking at the conclusion of a two-day training camp Wednesday, the 36-year-old Cannavaro said he's already been labeled too old, "so I can only imagine what they would say in August."
This year's World Cup in South Africa runs from June 11 to July 11.
Cannavaro took over the captaincy when Paolo Maldini stopped playing for Italy after the 2002 World Cup.
He broke Maldini's previous record of 126 appearances with the Azzurri last year, and currently has 132.
On the night of his 100th appearance at the 2006 World Cup, Cannavaro lifted the trophy for Italy.
