We still have a chance in the second leg -Bradley

Egypt Coach Bob Bradley believes that Egypt's dream to reach the World Cup has become 'nearly impossible' after his side's 6-1 loss to Ghana in the first leg of the World Cup play-off on Tuesday.

"Our dream of qualifying for the World Cup has become nearly impossible," Bob Bradley said in the post-match news conference.

"But we still have a chance in the second leg. I will try to work on the players," he briefly added.

The Pharaohs will host Ghana on 19 November in the second leg of the World Cup play-off.

The American Coach apologized to the Egyptian people, saying he takes responsibility for the heavy defeat.

"I apology to the Egyptian people for Tuesday's loss. I know that reaching the World Cup is the dream of all Egyptians but I failed realise that dream."

Bradley said his men were all out of form during the Tuesday's clash.

"I tried to make a mix between youth and experienced players, but we committed a lot of mistakes during the game. It was not our day."

"I sought a recovery in the second half but the players' mistakes were numerous," he added.
