let me tell u this smart ass lol: I know i wasn't born in 74 but since the day i was born until now i've been hearing after each world cup thay we Haitian are going to the next one... and how long that's been...36 years? Most of the other teams are getting better every year and I believe we will never reach their level . I think we better find another line of sport such as Baseball instead of playing only fooftball and basketball since we're pretty good at throwing rocks.
