Haiti boss disappointed in result but not in his players

Haiti's manager, Sebastien Migne, voiced disappointment with his team's inability to secure a World Cup point but expressed pride in their spirited performance against Morocco. Haiti, making its first World Cup appearance since 1974, lost their final Group C match 4-2 after leading twice, only to concede two late goals.

“

I'm disappointed from a result standpoint, I would have liked for us to score more and win, but that being said, I didn't feel as though the boys gave up. Even in challenging conditions after that third goal, I was worried we would collapse.

Even in challenging conditions after that third goal, I was worried we would collapse," Migne stated. He attributed the team's tenacity to the Haitian culture, noting, "It has to do with the Haitians' culture. They just don't give up that easily. So they were a nice reflection of the culture of the country. They represented their country right."

Migne felt the team demonstrated their worthiness of qualification. "We managed to show that we were worthy of this qualification. We were in the right place. Now we need to make some improvements and not wait for another 52 years." He concluded by calling the experience "a ripe new chapter in the history of Haiti," emphasizing their near-historic achievement and their desire to leave the tournament with heads held high, which he believes they accomplished.
