Giggs' talent is definitely lost when he play for Wales. Especially at a time when England have really failed to find a solid player down her left wing.

Ashley Cole looks like a very exciting prospect at left back.

Imagine the extra flair Giggs would bring to an England team with Beckham on the right and with Gerrard and scholes in the middle of the park. Plus the form of Owen at the moment would seem to suggest that he is truely one of the most dynamic young strikers to have emerged in England.

Giggs' decision was made when he was young, rash and many believe it was done to spite his dad. Shame though, he would've been a joy to watch lining up in World cups against the likes of other midfield magicians such as Zidane, Figo and Rivaldo.

Very right GODFATHER.
But i wouldnt compare him with amazing talent ZIDANE...there is no one to match him.
NO ONE! He is just an amazing midfield player and as you said he has real magic in his feet. Unbelieveable, folks!

Zidane is an amazing player supported by an amazing team. Giggs does not have that luxury.

As much of a Zidane fan as I am, I think Giggs never had the chance on a world stage that Zidane has. On club level Giggs’ accomplishments speak for themselves

Turkey was defeated 2-1 to sweden but turkey was more good than sweden in that match, turkey was 1-0 infront till last two minutes and it then lost the match . Friends believe me that Turkey is a favourable team with its staff in this tournament I bet it will able to pass the barage matches and will be able to enter the matchs in korean. ý mean sweden was only lucky and won the match by chance. The biggest problem in turkey team is the director of this team and now he was sacked from his duty after the match with sweden and everything will be okey for turkey from this time. Time will be the witness which will vindicate me insallah...

No I dont think so. Turkey wasn't that good. I think a draw would have been fine.
Both were evenly matched opponents.

Ali_R: I am a great fan of Zizou's as well, but at the moment I am starting to think that he made a mistake by leaving Juve for Real. of course it is still very early in the season but he hasn't shown any sign of the form he showed last year.

Fraudz: I agree that Giggs is a very good player, but I don't think he is in the same category as players like Zidane, Figo, Rivaldo,(and Veron, Totti and Rui Costa).

I don't want to comment on this right now.
I think it's a bit to early to assume.
He is a player with extra ordinary skills which are quite rare among new generation players.
I'm sure he'll find way to utilize those gifts of ALLAH (swt) with REAL.

Well I dont expect you to agree with me. Even though I have not stated at any point that I consider him to be as good of a player as Zidane.

Where has ENGLAND its weak points?!
I think its in the defence. Young Cole is not that mature and needs more experience in covering the players. He is a good offensive player, but he needs more practise behind.
I think Brown is another weak point in this team.

haha Ali_R did you see how we made it, in the 92 minute we made the that goals. The Isreali’s fans went mad, they started throwing oranges, fire lighter, and stones to the austrian moderator.
