Despite 5,000 signatures requesting Figo to play on Portugal National Team, he made up his mind that he will not play anymore and that is final. This would really disappoint a lot of fans but we should honor his decision and I think it is also good for him to just rest from playing football.
From my last check Figo is not on the team of LA Galaxy. Maybe you have placed this in a wrong forum.
Well anyway, Figo made his mind to retire so lets just give him what he wants.
I think its better to call it quits before you end up with some type of injury that will end up being stuck with you for the rest of your life. I love some things in life, but not enough to get some of the injuries I have seen players get.
They always say absence makes the heart grow fonder, perhaps a break is just what he needs to decide to come back and play better then ever. Until then he can get a bit of a break.
