Bob Bradley is Class

As if we didn't know already, but, Mr. Bradley is class and a fine ambassador for US Soccer.

And I just realized I'm Eddie Lewis!!!! The American Beckham!!! Where's Eddie's underwear advert?

 

Thanks for posting Nevzter. You're preaching to the choir when it comes to Bob Bradley. He is representing well. Like Heather said in another thread, I hope Bob and the Egyptian national team can find a way to be a part of the reconciliation needed in Egypt. It would be great for their country and it would be great for soccer.

Nevzter, I didnt want to mention it, but from your avatar it appears your baby is drunk.

 

She only had two, Mo.

 

Any thread that has drunk babies and American Beckham underwear adverts deserves a :text-bump:

On a serious note, we've all seen and heard BB enough to know that he would go about this in the manner he has, total class.

 

If anyone has SiriusXM, The Football Show will interview Bob later this week. Not sure what day or time yet as they were working out the details at the end of todays show.

 

I can see, life is good.

 

Unbeaten in his last 8 matches as coach for Egypt. Say what you want about the competition, the number of draws, but few if any foreign managers could have managed what he has. Well done Bob you make us proud. :bow-yellow: :bow-yellow:

Thanks for posting Joe.

 

The recount of the riot victims is heart-wrenching. For all of those marred by that riot, I hope Egypt can qualify for the WC.

Egypt begin WC qualifying against Mozambique today.

At 55' min. Egypt is up 1-0 with a goal from Fatbread (Fathallah). The team kissed the ground in celebration of the goal. The game is being played in an empty stadium for security reasons (I think actually because the military/police have refused to provide security for the match)

 

Now 2 - 0 Egypt. Mosambique goalkeepers save hits the bar and bounces into goal off the back of his head, ala Dempsey's goal. Cruel game sometimes.

 

And it ends 2-0 - BB has begun Egypt's march to the WC with a victory.

The match report, great quote from him about having to play in an empty stadium '90 million were in the stadium'.

Pharaohs win again in a come from behind victory (imagine that from a B Bradley side :shock: ). In WC Qualifying they now have six of six points and have defeated their expected toughest opponents away.

Bob and Co did not qualify for the African Cup of Nations.

 

That is a tough blow for Bob and the team, and not a promising sign. The qualification process for that tournament doesnt seem like the best for insuring that you've got the strongest teams. I wonder if economics are a factor the way they are for women's WC qualifying.
