Am I the only person in Wales who doesn`t see his international retirement as a big thing ?
Now u may read that and think - ooo Giggs - but what a talent !
Indeed, but here`s the rant.
Am I the only person who can remember the years when he was argueably at his best, Wales needed like 1 or 2 wins to qualify for something for the 2nd time in my lifetime, and Giggs has a bad toe. Miss the Welsh game on the wednesday and play for the mancs on saturday. Following week the toe flares up, and later in the week he`s playing in an FA Cup game or something.
Arguably at the time, Hughes would play, Rushie, Saunders - but giggs would only seem to play when a game either meant nothing or it was San Marino at home.
What I`ve always said, after having this unarguable talent skip playing for his country year after year, was to forget about him. Don`t even select him. 5 or so years go by, the mass of striking talent (of which he could have complemented very very well) had all but retired, and he`s on the scene for a bit. Anything important for manu tho and he`s back out. Close title race = no-show.
They`re gonna spend the next week or so praising him in the press - I can see it now. Frankly the guy is a disgrace, imo.
Giving him captain is a disgrace to the nation tbh.
