Egypt captain Wael Gomaa remains defiant over his side�s World Cup chances despite the humiliating 6-1 defeat in Ghana. The Pharaohs were soundly beaten in Kumasi in the first-leg playoff, leaving them with a mission-impossible when they host their opponents next month in Cairo. �I would say it just wasn�t our day in Ghana,� Ahli captain Gomaa, 38, told his club�s website ahead of the semi-final game against Coton Sport.�Nothing is impossible in football. The surprise 6-1 defeat to Ghana proves so. It isn't over yet. �I still believe it is too early to talk about the end of our World Cup chances ahead of the return game. �I think it is better to forget the Ghana game now as I need to focus with Ahli in the Champions League.� Egypt host Ghana on November 19, knowing they need five goals and a clean sheet to secure a World Cup place.
