On 15 May 2012, and for the first time, Egypt national team coach Bob Bradley included El-Abd in the squad for friendly games against Cameroon, Togo, and Senegal, and also against Mozambique in a FIFA World Cup Qualifier.
Following the World Cup, Bradley signed a contract extension in August 2010 to remain as the USA coach until the 2014 World Cup.

Although Bradley was widely tipped to be a future national team manager, perhaps for the 2014 World Cup cycle, most observers and several national team players expected U.S. Soccer to hire recently departed Germany manager and California resident Jürgen Klinsmann, due to his success and connections to American soccer.

He was not retained following Egypt's elimination from qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
