As usual in every edition of the World Cup tournament, there will always be unpleasant news for fans and football federations to hear where football players in each country they defend.

The 2018 World Cup stage is arguably not only a stage for the skills of the footballers, but also a grave for some of the players in the top player category. 

Indeed there are many considerations for the reasons for professional footballers in deciding to hang shoes from the National Team that he defended. One of the most basic reasons is the age factor that no longer supports.

Here are five names of players who decided to hang their shoes after their country was eliminated from the 2018 World Cup:

DAVID SILVA

Manchester City midfielder's decision is quite surprising. Because, before there was no signal that the player who made his debut with the matador squad since 2006 will be hanging from the national team.

"It's not easy, after everything I've experienced to sit down and write these lines. These are days and weeks to reflect and analyze in making the decision to end my era in the Spanish national team," he wrote to the fan uploaded on Twitter account some time ago.

GERARD PIQUE

The main pillar in the matador squad defense line decided to hang his shoes from the national team especially considering his age had entered the head of three. This is an important consideration especially since the next World Cup will only last four years.

Pique himself has enjoyed success with the Spanish national team. He has led Spain to embrace the 2010 World Cup trophy and 2012 European Cup.
