Only miracle can save me, says Bradley

Egypt coach Bob Bradley will stay for the return leg against Ghana, but admits he “will be finished” if he fails to qualify the north African country to the 2014 World Cup.

The Egyptian Football Association decided Monday to keep him, despite a humiliating 6-1 defeat in the first-leg at Kumasi on October 15.

Bradley, who strongly feels the November 19 second-leg could be his last game for the Pharaohs, told AP: “If we don’t manage to make a miracle, then I’ll be finished.”

“I will leave feeling sad for everyone but also knowing that we gave everything we had to try and make it happen.”

The former US coach added: “Our team has worked very, very hard to try and make a dream, an important dream for all Egyptians. I am sad that we’ve put ourselves in a position right now where that dream is at risk. It’s going to be difficult, but we still have 90 more minutes.”
