Montclair Native Talks Egypt and World Cup Soccer on 'Daily Show'

Local soccer coach laughs it up on the nightly Comedy Central fake news show.

Montclair's Bob Bradley has a lot on his plate. The former coach of the Princeton and U.S. national soccer teams is making news now as manager of the Egyptian national soccer team. The Pharaohs are one playoff series away from making the 2014 World Cup, an achievement the team hasn't earned since 1990. Bradley talked about the team's success so far with guest host John Oliver on the Thursday edition of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart."

If you missed the funny and serious conversation, in which Bradley talks about his experiences as a U.S. citizen coaching a sports team in the middle of the Egyptian revolution and the Morsi coup, the extended interview, which contains more than what was aired Thursday night, is available for viewing in two parts at Comedy Central's website:
