Ryan Giggs maintains the belief he made the correct decision to retire from international football and has backed Wales to recover from their disappointing start to World Cup qualifying.

"It is a tough group," he said. "Belgium, with some of the players they have got, it was always going to be a tough game. "Obviously, with James getting sent off, it was always going to be uphill after that and a bit of a struggle and unfortunately not the result you want at the start of a campaign. "But the good thing is there are still plenty more games to go and you have got plenty of time to turn it around so hopefully we can do that."
