Belgian striker Eden Hazard has announced his retirement from international football after a disappointing World Cup.
Belgium was left out of the World Cup after failing to qualify in the group stage of the tournament. With the aging of the Belgium team, particularly their defense, they struggled to compete with the high-pressure, high-pace teams of the World Cup.
Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has resigned from his post following his disappointing exit, and one of his key players over the years has now announced his retirement from international football.

As seen above, former Chelsea striker Hazard has announced his retirement from Belgium.
Hazard has struggled to find consistent form since moving to Real Madrid from Chelsea, and regular injuries made him a doubt for this current World Cup.
Unfortunately, Hazard was a shadow of himself during the tournament in Qatar and Belgium couldn’t get out of the groups.
Hazard wasn’t the only bad player on the team, but with regular injuries and turning 32 in January, Hazard has decided now is the time to hang up his international boots.
