The Egyptians' win leaves the U.S. with a mathematical possibility, albeit slim, to advance to the semifinals of the 2009 Confederations Cup.

Despite the need for goals, Coach Bradley explained that his lineup selection for Sunday is not simply a matter of choosing the players who pose the greatest threat to score on the Egyptian goal.
