Japan's Keisuke Honda decided to hang up his boots following the World Cup exit in the round of 16 in Russia this year. He made his debut against Bahrain in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier in 2008.

The 32-year-old has won 98 caps for the nation during the last decade. The Japanese International was able to score 37 goals during this period which made him one of the most destructive players in Asia for quite some time.

He has featured in three World Cups for his nation and was able to find the back of the net on all three occasions. Also, he took up the field on a couple of occasions for Japan in the Asian Cup and was able to lift the trophy once. A player of Honda's caliber will be a huge miss for his team.
