Sept 15 (Reuters) - Colombia midfielder James Rodriguez retired from international football on Tuesday, having won 131 caps and inspired his country to the 2014 World Cup quarter-finals.
"Thank you for every match, every joy, every tear and every dream we shared. Defending the colours of the Colombia national team was one of the greatest honours of my life," Rodriguez said in a video posted on social media.
The 35-year-old, who made his senior debut in 2011 and often captained Colombia, scored 31 goals and represented his country at three World Cups and four Copa America tournaments.
Rodriguez rose to global prominence at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, scoring six goals to win the Golden Boot as Colombia reached the quarter-finals. His volley against Uruguay in the last 16 earned him FIFA’s Puskas Award for the best goal of the year.
He signed for Colombian side Atletico Nacional last week on a deal running until next June after leaving Major League Soccer club Minnesota United.
Rodriguez previously played for Real Madrid, winning two Champions League and two LaLiga titles, and also had spells with Bayern Munich and Everton.

9 月 15 日（路透社）——哥伦比亚中场球员詹姆斯·罗德里格斯周二宣布退出国际足坛，他曾代表国家队出场 131 次，并激励哥伦比亚队打入 2014 年世界杯四分之一决赛。
“感谢大家陪伴我参加的每一场比赛，每一份喜悦，每一滴泪水，以及我们共同拥有的每一个梦想。能够代表哥伦比亚国家队出战是我人生中最伟大的荣誉之一，”罗德里格斯在社交媒体上发布的一段视频中说道。
这位 35 岁的球员于 2011 年首次代表国家队出战，并经常担任哥伦比亚队的队长，共打入 31 球，代表国家队参加了三届世界杯和四届美洲杯。
罗德里格斯在2014年巴西世界杯上声名鹊起，他攻入六球，荣膺金靴奖，帮助哥伦比亚队晋级四分之一决赛。他在16强对阵乌拉圭的比赛中凌空抽射破门，为他赢得了国际足联普斯卡什奖，该奖项旨在表彰年度最佳进球。
上周，他与哥伦比亚球队国民竞技签约，合同至明年6月到期，此前他离开了美国职业足球大联盟俱乐部明尼苏达联队。
罗德里格斯此前曾效力于皇家马德里，赢得过两次欧冠冠军和两次西甲冠军，他还曾效力于拜仁慕尼黑和埃弗顿。
