Haiti exit World Cup after Scotland defeat

Scotland add to the pain

Your World Cup is over, and Scotland made it rougher. Haiti lost to Scotland in the early hours, a 4am kickoff that ended in defeat (1). No scoreline has been confirmed yet, but the result leaves Haiti bottom of Group C with nothing to play for in the final match.

The group stage was a harsh classroom. Morocco put four past your team earlier in the tournament, and the Scotland loss compounds a campaign where defensive fragility was the story.

Vini Jr. had pineapple, Brazil had the edge

Before Brazil faced Haiti, cameras caught Vini Jr. eating pineapple pitchside (2). That image will stick, but what actually matters is what happened after. Brazil won, though the exact score is still unconfirmed.

Haiti exit the group without a point, the gap in experience and squad depth glaring against teams with deep tournament pedigree. The learning curve was steep, but this is where the climb starts.
