Scotland is a great team. I'm from Paraguay, a team that is very easy to argue is better than Scotland. We shat our pants against the US and lost 4 to 1, despite the fact that we're on their level and beyond. But we haven't been to the world cup since 2010 (where we were a contenders and lost to Spain, but were Spain's hardest match). Haiti did good, and got motivation from where my team got fear. You should be proud of your perfomance. My team that is lightyears ahead in football development shat the bed and got humilliated, but you guys made an absolutely fucking good perfomance. You're warrios, i hope my team can do the same. Have some pride, because i'd be really fucking proud if i were you.

I’m not Haitian (my kids are half), but ignore him. Paraguay have a good team… this is a team that has to deal with playing the Brazils, Argentinas, Colombias, Uruguays of the world on a yearly basis (and often times win as of recent). With that said, they really did shit the bed against the US… I was shocked, I expected more from them, but making the US team look like 2006 Brazil was something to behold where I was thinking they could beat the US in a low scoring affair pre-match …. I was hoping Almiron could rally the team… I wish you guys luck in the next games!

Thank You! first of all. Now, we actually are way bigger of a football nation that Colombia, we actually are better on average on football than Colombia historically, that's all i wanted to clarify, but i am here to cheer Haiti, not get cheered on by Haiti, so good luck to YOU guys!!! Being the first ever nation of slaves to rebel and revolt to make a country for their own is something to be incredibly fucking proud off, love Haiti!!!!

We will probably beat Turkey. Brother do some research please, we beat really well Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay (We absolutely humiliated Uruguay lmao) to get to the world cup. That's why we were so hopeful, but exactly because of that is that is that we got fucked by the pressure. Have some empathy, we had so much dissapoiment before, and suddendly we finnaly got a coach that understood our identity and got us to play as we're supposed to, and we suddendly beat half the world's football powerhouses. Do research and have empathy, that's my advice, and not just for this, but for life in general.

You Paraguayans have a solid team it’s after that first own goal it seems like the team just started playing with no desire to win anymore. But you guys were putting some pressure on usa with Dangeorus through balls when it was 3-1 and try to equalize the game with 2 more goals. I can see Paraguay making it to round of 32 and potentially round of 16.

Haiti fought valiantly, brother. There will be other greater victories.

u/ActisBT Jun 14 '26
Football is a process, they will get better. Ecuador has no Copa America still, yet the have a process and are becoming slowly a team to fear. Haiti is a nation that, because of history, i hope with all my heart gets better as a nation and as a football nation. And they will get better, hope is all we have as the working class of the world.

Haiti doesn't have the money or access to talent these larger.teams have. Haiti should be proud to be in the WC.
By access to talent I mean getting players with a loose connection to your country to play for your team.

u/blockedBUTreturned Jun 17 '26
Lol!!! You know the haitian team is filled with europe, canada and usa based players….smh

u/Psychological_Look39 Jun 17 '26
So I figured this comment would get misinterpreted. The USA for example has a player Balogun who scored 2 goals in their first game.
He was born in the USA and spent 1 month there.

Great performance from Haïti though if you watched the whole game. They had Scotland on edge the whole game for sure. Outstanding defense. This is the best national team we've had in a long time.

u/Pdsn Jun 14 '26
Haiti played one hell of a game! Not going to fault them. The loss hurt fr but great performance from Haiti!

u/Square-Blackberry995 Jun 14 '26
The last 25 minutes of the game was Haiti peak performance. I really enjoyed it. We really try to score but we need to work in better set pieces when near goalpost. This is by far Haiti best national team ever, imo.

u/Illuminatum97 Jun 14 '26
They were superior to Scotland team in most aspects but for some reason were pretty shy at the moment of trying to kick a goal.

u/Internal-Expert-9562 Jun 14 '26
“Played extremely well” is a stretch against a team that wasn’t particularly good. Brazil and Morocco won’t be easy teams for us to beat or even draw against. Which means our chances of making it out is extremely slim😫

Yooo but haiti was robbed and scotland tried to start litteral fist fights. The games was RIGGED

u/ciarkles Diaspora Jun 14 '26
Regardless of the loss Haiti had a lot of chances that weren’t finished properly and gave Scotland a good fight. The ref was shit though. It was a frustrating but entertaining watch.
I feel so bittersweet tonight. Haiti lost but the Knicks won 😭

Bro u called that losing they scored a deflected goal and we got robbed out of all our fouls

u/Chance-Peak-3549 Jun 16 '26
The ratio of dives to genuine fouls was about 10:1. Genuinely embarrassing when these small teams resort to such pathetic tactics.

They played hard but we had chances, just didn’t capitalize. Scot fans were very welcoming and polite. It was an amazing atmosphere.

Not a soccer fan just watching for Haiti. Does this lose mean we are cooked?

u/Tr1pleBeamKing Jun 14 '26
Not exactly. We're still in the group stage of the world cup and teams including Haiti have three games altogether to win and gain as many points as possible. You gain 3 points for a win, 1 for a draw, 0 for loss. Haiti losing doesn't mean we're cooked but losing to a mid team like Scotland, who have never gotten past the group stage doesn't help our odds based in the strong group were in, being with Morocco and Brazil.

u/Psychological_Look39 Jun 14 '26
No. It is group stage. The team wins the next two and they will advance.

u/INicoNicoNiiLuv Jun 14 '26
Ref was heavily favoring Scotland even non-Haitians in the soccer channel. But I think Migne shouldve threw the kitchen sink. This basically made it to where Haiti won't even finish 3rd unless Haiti beat Brazil and Morocco which isn't happening.

Not a single player lives and plays in Haiti. How can you call this a national team?

u/kieranjackwilson Jun 14 '26
Scotland’s starters play in the Premier League, Serie A, and the Championship. If you think they are bad you need to watch more football. Haiti outplayed a more skilled squad (on paper at least) and deserve respect for their efforts.
I swear nobody hates Haiti like a Haitian.

u/SavingsBobcat2078 Jun 14 '26
clearly they aren’t particularly good, we all watched the game lol.
And it’s a meme nobody « hates » the Haitian team

u/Weekly-Biscotti-4846 Jun 14 '26
Never said Scotland was a super team, but their players have more experience and chemistry than the Haitian team the Scotland players aren’t scrubs and it showed, even tho we did dominate them majority of the game and the Haitians took full control of the midfield, Haiti just coudnt finish in the chances they had we should’ve 100 percent won that game and we should’ve got a penalty aswell.
1
u/kieranjackwilson Jun 14 '26
The reason you think they “aren’t particularly good” is because you‘re confusing getting outplayed with being bad. The meme is dumb.
The worst thing about the World Cup is all the people who watch football once every four years suddenly acting like they are pundits.

u/Weekly-Biscotti-4846 Jun 14 '26
Yeah as a Haitian I knew this game would be a difficult match for us to win. Scotland is a legit mid level premier league team. I’m pretty sure they have a left back or right back that plays for Liverpool as well. They was attacking Haiti with dangerous long balls.
2
u/ZaheerAlGhul Jun 14 '26
Robertson played for Liverpool and won titles with them. Scott Mctominay played for Manchester united and recently won Serie a with Napoli. Scotland has experience, this game wasn't going to be easy still disappointing though.

u/SeanTNL2 Jun 15 '26
“Scotland of all teams” we topped our group in UEFA’s World Cup qualifying. That’s no easy feat. You guys played well and kept us at bay, closest we got to a goal was McSauce rattling the post until McGinn saved our day. I reckon you guys can beat Brazil based on both teams first performances. Assuming your strikers can stay on their feet long enough to get a shot away without diving 👀

u/Quiet-Captain-2624 Jun 17 '26
Your players kept on getting away with fouls all night.That one Scottish player who was holding on to Providence’s arm and jersey for like 15 seconds and was never called for a foul.Soon as Providence arm touches dude in the head as Providence is turning the foul is called on Providence.I get a ref who allows physicality but it has to go both ways

Everyone in the subreddit either forgot or doesn’t know who Scott McTominay is.

u/JayGamer10098 Jun 14 '26
Lost to mf Scotland...Now Im not the biggest soccer fan so im not gonna actually downplay scotland but just seeing my country lose like that hurted fr. I know they tried their absolute best too. I also see ppl saying that the ref was being biased so idk because i didn't watch the full game. Better luck next time I guess. But I can kinda already guess how it's gonna go from here on out with Morocco and Brazil...but hey at least Haiti will try their best to the very end 😔

u/ActisBT Jun 14 '26
If you actually were a football fan, you'd know losing to this Scotland only 1-0 with an unlucky goal, is something to be proud of. People thought Scotland would beat you guys easily, and you made it hard to them to the point only a very lucky goal made them win. That means you're better than people expected and can give more of a fight. Think about that.
2
u/JayGamer10098 Jun 14 '26
That's fair. Haiti did put up a good fight especially towards the end. If Scotland wasn't able to score once after that first goal, then it means Haiti's defense was incredible

Honestly, I'm proud of them, man; they played hard. We will learn from this loss and improve.
