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.

Fan violence in football can pave the way for devastating consequences sometimes and this was exactly what happened in Egypt last night. At least 73 people were killed after Al-Masry defeated Al-Ahly 3-1 at the Cairo stadium with more than 1,000 injured in the stampede.

A violent riot erupted following a match between Egyptian rivals Al-Masry and Al-Ahly, leaving dozens of people dead and hundreds of others injured.

According to various reports, the still-escalating death count from the incident in Port Said, Egypt, stands at 73, while Egyptian outlets are reporting that the country's health ministry has said that more than 1,000 are hurt.

The death toll is currently mounting tragically in Egypt after a pitch invasion and fire hit Al Masri's stadium in Port Said on the back of a massive upset over Al Ahly less than one hour ago. One AP report has it at seven, while another less than 15 minutes later shows it at 35. And yet another moments later at 40.

The Southeast Asian Games are more of a local flavor, unlikely to get any sort of global pub unless something big happens. Well, it happened, and under tragic circumstances, as fans unable to get tickets for the final in Jakarta between the hosts and Malaysia burned down two ticket booths, while the pregame resulted in a stampede of those attempting to get in (possibly without tickets?

Late, late last night I watched TFC handle a tame Real Esteli. It was one of those weird media nights. I watched the first half on television and then went onto the TFC chat to see what Asif was saying. Soon discovered that what I had been watching on tv was not live and that I was able to move through time rapidly.

22,200 fans came to The Cathedral of Football on Saturday night to see what should have been a classic derby match. With the rich history between RBNY and DC United, a 4-0 thrashing by the Bulls at RFK earlier this season, and the midweek 5-0 destruction of Toronto FC, the potential for an entertaining, dynamic 90 minutes was in the air.

Two-time FIFA World Player of the Year, and World Cup winner Ronaldinho has parted ways with Italian megaclub AC Milan, and joined popular Brazilian side Flamengo. The maestro was greeted by a stampede of 20,000 crazy fans who tore down the stadium's gates to greet their new midfield maestro.

The commentators said that the difference between the two sides was the fact that Arsenal made it count when it mattered, as opposed to Birmingham.
