I voted for bradley to be fired because this is how the US should play ALL THE TIME. The fact that they don‘t is a symptom of coaching not personnel.

congratulations for Egypt
we played a fantastic game against Brazil but it wasn’t the result we want
now we played and got the result
USA match will be so difficult as we played Brazil by there style ( always attack ) Italy by there style (defence and counter attacks ) but absolute physical style of USA will be difficult especially after long season in our league ended by extra final match Al-ahly vs Esmaily to detect the league title to Al-ahly .most of Egypt team play on Ahly & Esmaily .added four tough matches against Omam , Algria , Brazil , Italy so our players are very exhausted
but I think Abu-treka`s friends will make it to the second round or may be more .

It’s going to be an interesting day Sunday, because so many different scenarios come into place. If in one scenario Italy and Egypt both win their games, the top three will be tied at 6, then goal difference will come into play, which will favor Italy unless Egypt are able to win the US big. I’m sure though that Brazil will do their best to atleast get a tie with Italy so as not to place 2nd in the group and face Spain in the Semis… In another Scenario if Brazil and the US both win, there will be a 3 way tie for second at 3 points, which again will be measured by goal difference, which in this case Italy will probably make it. To say the least Sunday will be an interesting day! (US Open that day as well xD)

I’m a proud Brazilian who’s always loved Egyptian football. I studied at the American Univ. of Cairo and have many friends in Egypt. Visited the country many times, Egyptians are a wonderful, warm, beautiful people. I kept telling everyone I know not to dismiss Egypt in this tournament. They are very good in cup tournaments based in Africa. It’s just qualifying for the wc that they always have trouble with! This uninspiring Dunga team has totally failed to generate any enthusiasm in me, so I’ve been rooting for Egypt to do whatever they can in this competition. At least they’ve managed to surprised many who knew nothing about the mighty Pharoahs.

Who was the USA right winger pulling out the step overs and the Rabona!?!
Also, why doesn’t Dempsey do tricks for Fulham, he pulled a few off…

egypt has always been good. they have one of the most stable football structures in africa. there own league which most egyptians play in. there own coaches and their clubs always participate in fifa club world cups. so its not a surprise to see them win

Pharoahs have to go back and qualify for the world cup after this. They’ve made a pretty average start to their campaign.
