Bob Bradley has always been a tremendous example for his players and leader as a soccer coach. Now, in the wake of a terrible tragedy, he is asked to do the same for a nation.
Bradley insisted Monday that he is "totally committed" to coaching Egypt's national soccer team despite the turmoil in the country following the riot at a game last week that left more than 70 dead.

The recent upheaval following a club match in Egypt that left 74 people dead and more than a thousand others injured could have easily convinced Bob Bradley to pack up his things and return to the comfort of the United States.

Instead, the former U.S. national team coach and current Egypt national team coach reportedly remains committed to his job while doing his part in the rebuilding of a nation.

A few hours ago, following a 3-1 home win over top ranked Al-Ahly, fans of Al-Masry stormed the field and attacked fans of rival Al-Ahly. According to Al Jazeera news, the Muslim Brotherhood claims that the attacks were instigated by anti-Islamic supporters of toppled Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak.

A massive pitch invasion in Port Said, Egypt, following a match between defending champions Al Ahly and fourth-place Al Masry has, according to state television, led to at least 74 deaths and more than 1,000 injured in one of the most horrific and large-scale instances of football stadium violence in recent memory.

Tragic news is coming out of Egypt following today's match between Al-Masry and Al-Ahly in Port Said, Egypt. After Al-Masry won the match, 3-1, its fans invaded the pitch, forcing Al-Ahly players to flee to the locker room, where they became trapped. Apparently, Al-Ahly Ultras took to the pitch too, and the long, violent history between the two clubs was extended.

En la grada serán rivales, pero la calle los ha colocado detrás de la misma valla. El pasado mes de enero hicieron frente común para derrocar a Hosni Mubarak. Hace unas semanas, la plaza Tahir volvió a ser escenario de la unión de sus fuerzas. En esta ocasión, con Egipto en pleno proceso constituyente, se trataba de dar apoyo logístico a una simple sentada.

This news item has been reproduced from today's media.

Rafa Benitez's agent Manuel Garcia Quilon has dismissed growing speculation linking the former Liverpool manager with Paris Saint Germain.
Al Jazeera announced yesterday that that Benitez was set to take over, but Quilon swiftly issued the following denial:
"Rafael Benitez is in Liverpool tonight having dinner with his family.

According to Al-Jazeera, Paris Saint-Germain have lined up former Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez as the replacement for coach Antoine Kombouare. Benitez has been without a club since being fired by Inter Milan almost a year ago.

The TV news channel reported that after lengthy discussions between board members at the Parc des Princes over the weekend, they have opted to cancel Kombouare's contract.

It remains to be seen whether the 2022 World Cup will be played in the summer or the winter, but one high-ranking FIFA official has a solution to ensure a winter World Cup gets played without a problem: Move the two biggest competitions in European club soccer.

Ahead of Friday's Euro 2012 draw in the Ukraine, UEFA president Michel Platini said that he is open to moving the UEFA Champions League and Europa League competitions in order to accommodate a winter World Cup in Qatar.

The most powerful man in football, amazingly, continues to take his absolutely nonsensical statements to new heights.

Reigning Spanish and European champions Barcelona have offered coach Pep Guardiola a new contract. Speaking to news agents, Barca president Sandro Rosell confirmed that the club had offered Guardiola a new contract which he could sign when he was ready.

However, a very interesting twist to this news is the fact that Guardiola still remains non committal on his long term affiliation with the club.

You lot have been so moody this week! First, your response to Christine Bleakley's new fitness DVD can only be described as 'mixed', then you disturbed us by referring to Andre Villas Boas as a 'ginger stallion', before taking serious exception to Revista Cuore's assertion that The Ramos™ is ugly.

Having a good week, are you? Well KPB which are the initials born for a pop idol is having a better week than you. The one man show against Lecce, and now he's busy singing birthday wishes to Al Jazeera, and doing it far better than anyone probably expected. Which is a statement that could be applied more broadly to KPB as a whole.
