Congratulations to Adam El-Abd

[Lyndhurst 14]

Interesting that the ex-USA coach Bob Bradley is now the Egyptian coach. I was a bit surprised when he got fired as US coach as he managed to get the US as far in the World cup as Capello got England, at a fraction of the salary.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

From what I just read on a football report from Egypt, he has just bagged himself a call-up to the national Egyptian squad.

Fantastic effort by him, if true.

Anyone else seen this?!

Hope it is true, he deserves it

He will look good with a fez on his head

 

[Oscar]

That is brilliant. What an honour for our Adam.

I'm pretty sure it was mutual consent as his contract ran out after the tournament. Bob Bradley wanted a new challenge as he fulfilled all he could in USA!

Well done Adam El-Abd; Brighton through and through!

Football Manager said this would happen.

It also told me England would win Euro 2012 with Lee Camp in goal.

A bit hit-n-miss.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

He will look good with a fez on his head

Isn't that a Moroccan thing?

 

[Kumquat]

Well done Adam , that's a pharaoh step up

According to wikipedia he was sacked. Bob Bradley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Following the World Cup, Bradley was linked to vacant managing positions with English clubs Fulham and Aston Villa, before signing a contract extension in August 2010 to remain as the USA coach until the 2014 World Cup.[3] In June 2011, Bradley led the US to the final of the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup, despite a defeat to Panama (then 67th in the FIFA world rankings) in their second match, but an early 2-0 lead was overturned by Mexico, who eventually won 4-2. On July 28, 2011, he was relieved of his duties by the United States Soccer Federation.

So he got them to the equivalent of the final of the Euros and was then sacked? That seems very harsh and boneheaded.

Bassem Ali (Arab Contractors)

Getting the builders in?

 

[shaolinpunk]

Well, I know which African nation I'll be hoping gets to the World Cup

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Many congrats to a top guy and a great club servant (slave)

 

[The Large One]

Congratulations to Adam.

It might explain why he was still training when Brett Mendoza did the REMF draw. Those boots might well have just gone up in value.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Well done Abd's about time !!!!

 

[c0lz]

Congrats to Adam.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Excellent news for Adam who will only improve the team.

Does this mean we may rue his loss in the next African Nations cup.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Will he be marking mr eto when they play Cameroon?
