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.

I hate to start these things on a down note, but today I feel I have too. As most know, Wednesday in Port Said Egypt a riot broke out at a Egyptian Premier League match. At the least 74 people lost their lives midweek and hundreds were injured after a match between Al-Masry and Al-Ahly.

Former USMNT boss and current Egyptian National Team coach Bob Bradley watched the events unfold on TV as he was getting ready to attend another match that day.

Since its founding in 1907, Al Ahly S.C. has been known as ‘the people's club,' representing resistance against the many forms of colonialism that have long plagued the African continent. Initially the first sporting club to allow Egyptians to join, Al Ahly remains the most popular of Egyptian teams, wearing to this day the red kits that honour the pre-colonial Egyptian flag.

74 killed and over hundreds were injured when politics mixed with football in violent fashion last night in Port Said... I'm not quite sure what to say about this as it's one of the most insane things I've ever seen, so below is what the Daily Mail wrote about the incident. After Al-Masry beat Al-Ahly, [.

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.

Another editorial meeting has sadly ended in a fist fight, but never fear, folks! Before the riot vans arrived and broke up the scratching, hissing, potty mouthed messed rolling around the office floor, we managed to agree on bringing you intermittent news of the Africa Cup Of Nations.

This will include, but not be limited to, pictures of semi-naked players, breaking short tent news, and, if the bail money can be collected in time, the occasional result too.

Sporting KC were not the only local team to announce a new signing today. The Missouri Comets also added a new player today, as they announced the signing of former Chicago Riot forward, Bato Radoncic. He's spent time in the US minor leagues and indoor games, mainly around the Milwaukee and Chicago area during his time here.

We are still a few days away from the Leeds game and I don't want to step on what will surely be another (auto paste here) splendid pre match from the master himself. But without wishing to step on toes I want to get some thoughts off my chest.

Having spent most of Christmas and New Year struggling to find the back of net I have started to change my mind about the importance of this game and who should be playing.

Goal: Friday's Bet of the day: Liverpool not to run riot over League One Oldham

As a hectic fixture schedule comes to an end and the League One side boasting a solid defence, top tipster Adam Bate thinks this one won't be a walkover for Kenny Dalglish's men

This isn't going to be overly analytical of the game, THFC1882 is about to go on it's Christmas holidays! Before that though we take a brief look at Tottenham Hotspur versus Chelsea from The Lane.

On the balance of play both sides will have been satisfied with a point.

Good to see Liverpool register a home win again after three draws at Anfield, thanks to a Luis Suarez header on 47 minutes.
It was a game where Liverpool threatened to run riot only for the goalkeeping of Chezney to keep it at 1-0.
Kenny Dalglish said after the game that Liverpool played fantastic football but he would like to see them score an awful lot more goals.

It's been an eventful week for Liverpool defender Daniel Agger! He's publicly labelled his Anfield team-mates 'headless chickens'; questioned the commitment of hitherto unnamed members of the Liverpool squad; helped Denmark qualify for Euro 2012; been questioned by the police after going on a 'drunken riot' with Nicklas Bendtener, and to top it all off, he scored a fine goal against Finland.

Carl Jenkinson: the more I ponder his position as a player for the Arsenal, the more I grow to admire him. Not position as in right-back, you understand. No, his position as a 19-year-old footballer who only last season was propping up a part-time, non-league outfit on freezing nights in front of a handful of fans.

"I think I am not in the best condition to analyse it. At this moment, my feeling is stronger than my reason."
Those were the words of Jorge Fossati, the coach of newly-crowned Asian Champions Al Sadd, deep in the bowels of Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Saturday evening. The Uruguayan had just watched a fantastic final in which his team overcame favourites and host Jeonbuk Motors thanks to a penalty shootout.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish believes Luis Suarez is not getting adequate protection from referees.
Suarez felt aggrieved that decisions were not awarded in his favour during the Reds' 1-1 draw with Norwich - and Dalglish thinks the Uruguayan deserves more respect from referees.
"He needs protection and I don't think he got that out there," said Dalglish.

Most of the preseason Professional Indoor Soccer news has revolved around MISL clubs but lately there has been a flurry of news surrounding PASL teams.
Some PASL teams are rumored to be sitting out the upcoming 2011-2012 season with both the Cougars and Omaha Vipers apparently unable to secure arenas.

The disturbances on the night of August 6th following a vigil for local man Mark Duggan, allegedly shot by police three days earlier, became the spark that ignited the most widespread and sustained civil disobedience in Britain since the early 80s. Yet Tottenham remains the area that has suffered the most.

English referee Howard Webb was caught in the middle of ugly scenes as Greek hooligans attacked Croatia fans during their crucial Group F qualifier in Athens on Friday night. Webb was forced to suspend play for a full six minutes as officials, security and stadium guards struggled to contain a rambustious Greek crowd.

Michael Regan/Getty Images(Bleacher Report) Chelsea have been chasing Luka Modric all summer, but events this weekend could have finally brought the deal to a true turning point.
Harry Redknapp has held out and protracted the possible move for almost two months, primarily believed to be in order to raise the price that there rival Londoners will pay for the Croatian International.

Philadelphia Union have a very short rest period before Sunday's game vs. Chivas USA, just two days between game days. Not an easy trip.

A preview from CSNPhilly on tomorrow night's road game at Chivas USA.

Chivas needs the win as much as Philly does if it's to make the playoffs.

Stopping Sebastien Le Toux will be key to Chivas USA's hopes, according to MLSSoccer.
