American Bob Bradley, the head coach of Egypt’s national soccer team, watches during the World Cup qualifying playoff second leg soccer match between Ghana and Egypt, at the Air Defense Stadium in Cairo, Egypt, Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2013. Ghana qualified for the World Cup on Tuesday with a 7-3 aggregate win over Egypt in the playoffs to seize the fourth of five African places available at the finals. Egypt won the second leg 2-1 in the first international in Cairo in two years but Ghana progressed because of its 6-1 win at home in the first leg last month _ when Egypts dream of making a World Cup for the first time since 1990 effectively ended.
