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