USA coach excited to meet Egypt Friendly
United States coach Bradley expressed great delight with plans to meet the Egyptian national team in a friendly match

United States head coach Bob Bradley has expressed great delight with plans to meet the Egyptian national team in a friendly match on Wednesday, Feb. 9, at Cairo International Stadium.
“Egypt is an extremely talented and competitive team,” Bradley said on the USA Soccer Federation's official website.
The Egyptian Football Association (EFA) had reached an agreement with the USA Soccer Federation to play a friendly match in Cairo, as part of the Pharaohs' preparation for their important clash against South Africa in the 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The seven-time Africa champions have only faced the US twice before. The first time was on 8 June, 1987, in Seoul, South Korea, when the US collected a 3-1 victory. The second time was at the 2009 FIFA Confederation Cup, where the US beat Egypt 3-0, with goals scored by Charlie Davies, Michael Bradley and Clint Dempsey.
The 2009 game is unforgettable for both sides. It allowed the US to reach its first final of a major FIFA competition, after defeating World Cup champions Spain in the semifinal, and it was also the Pharaohs' last match in the tournament. The Egyptian team had to then return home to face disappointed supporters and angry media.
"Their performances in the Confederations Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations have demonstrated their ability to challenge the top teams in the world. To play against the champions of Africa in what will be a fantastic environment in Cairo is a great opportunity as we get ready for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.” Bradley added.
Meanwhile, Egypt coach Hassan Shehata and his squad have arrived in Doha Monday night to meet the Qatari team in a friendly, Thursday.
