Brazil's all-time leading scorer Neymar has announced his retirement from international football following the team's 2-1 defeat to Norway in the FIFA World Cup Round of 16. The 34-year-old, who returned from injury during the tournament, scored a late penalty after coming on as a substitute but could not prevent Brazil's elimination. "I tried. It started here... and I finished here. It is now over," Neymar said after the match. Injuries limited him to two appearances at the World Cup, bringing an end to a remarkable international career that began in 2010. (PC: Al Jazeera)
