Soccer: Ryan Giggs Finally Gets His Day in the International Sun

Ryan Giggs is a great soccer player, but he’s never been able to shine at the World Cup because his country, Wales, never had enough other good players to manage to qualify. But now in the Olympics, he gets to play for Great Britain (which hasn’t had a team in the Olympics since 1960), and today he scored a goal against the United Arab Emirates. Giggs, incidentally, is 38; I first heard of him back in 1995.
