Bob Bradley's task at attempting to guide Egypt to the World Cup something unlike any other challenge an American soccer coach has faced around the world. Considering the state of the sport in Egypt following the riots at Port Said this past February and how the national team can be used as a rallying point for Egyptian people, Bradley's task is about more than just simple wins and losses.
The former U.S. men's national team coach's quest is being tracked in a documentary called "We The Pharaohs," which is being shot by filmmaker Jeffrey Plunkett, one of Bradley's former players at Princeton. Here is the trailer for the early parts of the film, which will be completed next fall and is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2014. Enjoy:
Bob Bradley is an absolute legend.
“Football’s not a matter of life and death….it’s more important than that” Bill Shankly said that.
Love stories like this, where football is more, so much more.
Quality. Simply a quality human being.
I pulling for Egypt to qualify obviously but also to heal and stabilize. Every little bit helps.
Hero.
Proud of him, proud of his kid.
All of Egypt’s problems politically and in soccer would be solved by one simple solution:
START RICARDO CLARK
This is a great story to be told. Lets hope they qualify. It will be great for that country and for a classy Bob Bradley. You may not have always agreed with his coaching decisions but he is a good man.
This looks awesome. Can’t wait to watch the whole thing.
+1 I really hope they qualify!!!
suddenly I find myself a Bob Bradley fan… I’m in bizarro world!
Bob Bradley has always been a man that resembles a militant & steady aura.
He’s literally, the perfect man for this job, at this time. Egypt is lucky.
radiates, perhaps?
At 1:51 it looked like they had 2 bObs, that would be unstopable!
ALADEEN MOTHERF#$%^&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
chill bumps watching this …
Nonstop buffering. No one else had that problem?
Must-see indeed. I can’t wait for this to come out.
that works too.
Good luck to Egypt and Bob Bradley class act. Hope they qualify.
This story begs to be told. And it will attract a broader audience than football diehards. Bob Bradley finds himself at the flash point of football, politics and history. Ooooh, I cannot wait.
It would be pretty nice if beIN would show Egypts games. I think they would get pretty good #’s in the US.
Lets just hope that more networks pick up beIN..
Yeah, did you see his wifey? Verrrrrrryyyy Nicccee!
^douchechill
Shoot. I didn’t plan on crying today.
SI SE PUEDE! SI SE PUEDE! SI SE PUEDE!
Bob wanted this all along… He is genius. Maybe he’ll be our next Ron Paul.
True that. No luck for TWC subscribers.
The Bradley’s are true American Heros. Father and Son doing big things abroad. I really hope they qualify, and I think it’s likely. They have one of the more talented African sides.
Nice!
great work BB! proud of ya
Hey, my wife uses that product!
I’d watch. Taken a keen interest ever since that SI photo-blog or photo-story about Bob in Egypt.
In Egypt as in the United States, Revolution = empty stadium.
holy crap, that’s funny. Inappropriate as hell but really, really funny.
Not hard to see how this man was able to motivate our guys to punch above their weight so often. Many didn’t like him because he was quiet and not much for cameras and interviews. Bradley was about the business of the game. Now we’ve got a windbag at the helm that loves the sound and smell of his own BS. Save us…
