Giggs to quit international game

Wales captain Ryan Giggs will announce his retirement from international
football on Wednesday afternoon.

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

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

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.

Giggs, who will end his career with 64 caps, is thought to have made his
decision after March's loss to the Republic of Ireland all but ended Wales's
chances of making the Euro 2008 finals.

Giggs也沒多少時間了....

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."
