Romario hangs up boots

Brazilian striker Romario has announced his retirement.

The former Barcelona forward, who will be 39 in January, is the second highest goalscorer in the history of the Brazil national team, 25 behind Pele, who scored 90 goals.

"I have stopped," he said. "I can't go on any more. I don't have the will any more."

Romario's last stint as a player was at Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro.
