HAMBURG, June 22 - Czech Republic midfielder Pavel Nedved's international future was in doubt after their World Cup elimination on Thursday.

"I don't want to say anything, it has happened to me once before and I'd prefer to leave it open," the 33-year-old told reporters after the 2-0 Group E defeat by Italy.

Nedved came out of international retirement to help the Czechs qualify for the World Cup, returning for the two-legged playoffs against Norway in November.

He said on Thursday he had not ruled out the possibility of retiring from soccer completely.

Nedved said the problems at his club Juventus were also causing him anxiety.

"If I am not playing at the top level, I don't think I can play for the national side," he said, answering "yes" when asked if he had considered quitting playing altogether.

Italy's football prosecutor has ordered Juventus, AC Milan, Lazio and Fiorentina to stand trial in the nation's biggest sports scandal in a quarter of a century.

The Football Federation said on Thursday that prosecutor Stefano Palazzi had charged a total of 30 "subjects" for sporting fraud and violations of fairness and probity, charges which can be punished by fines, bans and relegations.

Nedved was the inspirational heartbeat for the Czechs against Italy, his 90th cap.

He had the best chances but was thwarted by Juventus team mate Gianluigi Buffon, who made four superb saves from Nedved.

"I was trying but he is a great goalkeeper. He and Petr Cech are two of the best goalkeepers in the world," said Nedved.
