Haiti
Haiti make their first World Cup appearance since 1974 in one of the tournament's great underdog stories. Sébastien Migné has built remarkable cohesion from a largely diaspora-based squad. The 1974 Haiti team is remembered for Emmanuel Sanon's goal against Italy — this generation will aim to create their own moment of history.

Tactical Blueprint
A defensive 5-3-2 or 4-4-2 that absorbs pressure and relies on pace on the break. Nazon and Etienne Jr. provide the counter-attacking threat; the team's strength is collective organisation over individual brilliance.
