From this article, http://int.soccerway.com/news/2013/October/17/klinsmann-feels-for-panama/n242547/ sounds like Panama badly mismanaged the end of the game. What do they say? Park the Bus.

2 legs in November, I’d give New Zealand a chance. NZ wasn’t that poor at the last World Cup but I do see Mexico beat them in a friendly in Mexico in June 2011, 3-0.

The thing is, we know Mexico is good but as long as they don’t have their act together, they are not a good team.

On Bob Bradley and the Pharoahs getting walloped by Ghana 6-1:

“But it is understood Bradley may not take charge of November’s second leg in Cairo because of fears over his safety.

Airport security was increased for the team’s return from Ghana and many fans were angered by the humiliating result.”

Another snippet:

” In the last two days, the police and the army have clashed with with Ahly Ultras, a fans’ group who tried to attack the Ahly handball team after they were beaten to the gold medal in the Champions Handball League by a Tunisian side.

Last week, Ghana wrote to Fifa to ask for the second leg tie to be moved from Egypt because of safety fears and Fifa has given the Egyptian FA until 28 October to provide security guarantees. “

No place to be in Egypt now for an American like Bob Bradley. In civilized times, maybe.
