Sweden face a must-win situation against Belgium on Wednesday as they need to beat the latter in order to stand a chance of reaching the last-16 stage of the competition.

The former Paris-Saint Germain striker remarked that he would call curtains on his international career with his head held high irrespective of Wednesday's result.

He also ruled out any chance of playing at the Rio Olympics, which starts from August 5.
