BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez says he will not play again for the Spanish national team after a disappointing World Cup. The 34-year-old Xavi says "I have taken the decision to leave the selection. I think my time has ended." Xavi was Spains key playmaker in its unprecedented run of winning the World Cup in 2010 and two European championships in 2008 and 2012. But Spain flopped at this summers World Cup, losing its first two games and subsequently exiting the competition in the group stage. Xavi says being benched for that second match against Chile was key in his decision to retire from international duty. He says he will continue to play for Barcelona, with two years remaining on his current contract. Danny Rose Jersey . Notes on P.K.

Tolzien would become the first Green Bay quarterback other than Brett Favre or Aaron Rodgers to start back-to-back games since Don Majkowski started the first three games of the 1992 season. Coach Mike McCarthy has named Tolzien, a former practice squad player, the starter for Sundays game. Rodgers, sidelined with a collarbone injury, has said he might be able to play if he practices Friday. Rodgers, who has missed the last two games, hasnt practiced this week.

According to STATS, the Lions have had 18 different quarterbacks start consecutive games since 1992, while the Bears and the Vikings have each had 21.
