Giggs ends international career 

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/6703359.stm

Giggs剛剛已經正式宣布退出威爾士國家隊

6/2威爾士跟捷克的比賽將是Giggs的最後一場國家隊比賽

Wales captain Ryan Giggs announced his retirement from international football
on Wednesday. 

The Manchester United winger, 33, will play for his country for the last time
in Saturday's Euro 2008 qualifier against the Czech Republic in Cardiff.

"I feel this is a good time, the right time to retire and it's a difficult
decision for me," Giggs said.

"I have loved playing for my country and I have loved captaining my country.
It wasn't an easy decision." 

Giggs has won more English league titles than any other player but his
decision means he will never play at a major international tournament.

And it deprives Wales of one of the greatest players in their history.

A Football Association of Wales statement said: "The FAW would like to place
on record their gratitude for the 16 years of service that Ryan has given to
his country in 64 internationals.

"In that time he has upheld the highest principals of fair play during an
exemplary career for Wales."
