See Haiti beat New Zealand 4-0 last night, no clue of the level of either.

In terms of world rankings, New Zealand are at 85 and Haiti are at 83. For comparison, Scotland are 43rd.

And lose to the other two, failing to make the next round on goal difference.

Curaçao are 83 now. Haiti up to 82.
 

Our game against them probably a decent indication of how we’ll do, the first half against 11 men that is . Suppose we will never know how that 90 mins would have panned out but it wasn’t a convincing start.

Haiti will be a bit more dangerous than Curaçao. This is a twenty minute watch but well worth your time.  Don't be put of by the fact it's done by an American either, Zealand knows his stuff.

Match night tonight at 9 pm when we play Bolivia.

As usual, I don't mind if we lose as long as everyone makes it out the other side alive and well.

Chance to watch the other 2 World Cup group opponents on tv this weekend. Brazil v Egypt is on a 11pm tonight on ITvX and Morocco v Norway tomorrow at 8pm on ITV4.

Watched the Haiti v Peru friendly from last night. Haiti again looked very fast on the counter attack and they gave the Peru back line no time at all on the ball. However they again struggled to defend corners and free kicks and lost two goals from corners in a 2-1 defeat. Usual caveat of friendly to be applied to the above.
