Haiti wins Caribbean Cup

Haiti won what is called the 2007 Digicel Caribbean Cup, basically a world series for us Haitians. The picture above is Haiti’s football full team ; Bottom, Haiti’s Captain Supreme, Richard Bruny. Check out http://www.digicelfootball.com for more pictures and info. This championship game was January 23rd at the Port of Spain in Trinidad.

 

 From Fifa.com page

“One of only four Caribbean nations to have participated in a FIFA World Cup™, Haiti – with a golden generation of players like Arsene Auguste and Emmanuel Sanon coming through in the mid Seventies – stretched Italy and showed the watching world at Germany 1974 what a gem of native technique and improvisation was hiding out in the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea…

the Haitians went on a courageous tear through the region’s top competitors to lift the Caribbean Cup for the first time in their chequered history.

In addition to becoming the final team to qualify, Haiti also played the most games of any side (13) in what proved to be the largest edition of the 18-year-old tournament. After finishing in a three-way tie with St Vincent & the Grenadines and mighty Jamaica in their preliminary rounds in Kingston, the Haitians moved on to the finals by virtue of a superior goal difference, scoring 11 while only conceding three in three games.

Although their preliminary run was nothing short of impressive, the finals in Trinidad & Tobago were expected to be a road too far for the underdog French-speaking outfit. But with wins over Martinique and Barbados, they managed a place in the semi-finals. And after downing Jocelyn Angloma’s impressive Guadeloupe by an equally impressive 3-1, Haiti found themselves in only their second Caribbean Cup final in 18 years of trying…

The next step for the hard-working and impressive Caribbean Champions will be to test their mettle against CONCACAF’s best at the Gold Cup in the USA in June. They will be joined by T&T, Cuba and Guadeloupe (the first time four Caribbean teams will take part), the USA, Mexico, Canada and five Central American sides yet to be determined.”
