I thought it would be good to start a thread for updated international squads before the euro 2008 qualification matches start.

I'll start with sweden since it's the team I know best:

Retired:

Sweden
Henrik Larsson -> replaced by Fredrik Berglund (FC Copenhagen)
Teddy Lucic -> Mikael Antonsson (Panathinaikos)
Mattias Jonsson -> Kennedy Bakircioglu (Twente)
France
Zinedine Zidane -> ?
Holland
Philip Cocu -> Urby Emanuelson (Ajax)
Germany
Oliver Kahn -> Timo Hildebrand (no third goalkeeper selected yet)
Czech Republic
Karel Poborsky -> ?
Pavel Nedved -> ?
Italy
Alessandro Del Piero -> ?


Removed from squad:

Holland
Ruud Van Nistelrooy -> Klaas Jan-Huntelaar (Ajax)
Mark Van Bommel -> Stijn Schaars? (AZ)
England
David Beckham -> Shaun Wright-Phillips? (Chelsea)
Sol Campbell -> Michael Dawson? (Tottenham)
David James -> ?

Changed Captains

Sweden
Olof Mellberg -> Freddie Ljungberg
England
David Beckham -> John Terry

Does anybody else have any squad changes?
