GALLOWAY, United States (AFP) — Haiti’s achievement in qualifying for the World Cup amid ongoing turmoil in the Caribbean nation is one of the most inspiring stories of this year’s tournament, and the team are now hoping to make a real impact in the United States as they prepare for their opening game.
Ranked 83rd in the world, Haiti face Scotland in Boston on Saturday in the country’s first match at a World Cup since 1974.
They are clear underdogs in a group also containing Brazil and Morocco, but the Grenadiers believe they can spring a surprise.
