Will Haiti qualify for 2018 World Cup

Will Haiti qualify for 2018 World Cup in Russia

The road must travel to reach the Russian Grenadiers in 2018 promises to be long, difficult and expensive. Indeed, exempts first two rounds of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup, Russia 2018, Haiti will make his opening match in round three of these qualifications, scheduled for 4 and 8 September 2015. To get there, the Grenadiers very legs in the last Gold Cup, to be able to outdo the giants of the area.

Placed in the top 10 of the latest world rankings of FIFA, CONCACAF zone, the Grenadiers (7th) are guaranteed not to cross swords with the reggae boyz, finalists of the Gold Cup 2015. They are (reggae boyz) therefore exempt, also, and just as the Grenadiers, the first two rounds of the playoffs the World in 2018.

However, after the draw which will take place this Saturday, July 25 at Constantine Palace in Saint Petersburg (Russia), the Grenadiers will know the identity of their opponents. In the third round, twelve (12) countries in the region are concerned. They will be divided into two hats, according to their last World Ranking in July 2015.
 
Highest Rated be placed in the 1.This hat are: Jamaica (76th), Haiti (79th), El Salvador (88th), Canada (103), Guatemala (105th), and Antigua and Barbuda (107th). Thus, in any case, the Grenadiers will not meet the teams found in this hat, the third round of qualifying.

In this case, the potential opponents of Haiti will be placed in the hat 2. These are successively: Grenada (160th), Curacao (149th), Nicaragua (143rd), Aruba (135th), Belize (118th) and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (115th). The Grenadiers will therefore not have to force their talents to climb in the fourth round.

However, it will be remembered, the team of Curacao, beaten (4-2) at home, Haiti had held in check: 2-2 to Port-au-Prince in 2011. And this has been for much of the Premature removal of Grenadiers fought thereafter (0-1) by Antigua and Barbuda in the third round of qualifying for the World Cup Brazil 2014.

The little that we can say, nothing is won in advance. So Haiti will need the help of everyone to repeat the epic of 1974. Moreover, these small countries, by way of appeal to expatriates playing in major championships, undertake high-level coaches (Patrick Kluivert Curaçao is a perfect example) and continue in preparation for the qualifiers, multiply games tests, enough to compete for international deadlines.

The thus created duels, the third round will be played over two legs between 31 August and 8 September 2015. In terms of Grenadiers, they will play the first leg away from their base on September 4 before receiving the return match September 8 at Sylvio Cator stadium, currently closed for repair.

The nations that come out victorious of these posters will participate in the fourth round of the qualifying company in Costa Rica, Mexico, the United States, Honduras, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago. These were free the first three rounds. The shortlisted training will be divided into three groups of four, whose composition will be defined at Constantine Palace. The fourth phase will take place between November 7, 2015 and September 6, 2016. The winners and runners of the three groups will advance to the fifth round.

After this final hexagonal tournament, the top three will qualify for the finals of the FIFA World Cup, Russia 2018, and the fourth-ranked team in play-offs (home and away) with the country classified 5th position in the Conmebol area.

In other words, they are six in number, the teams will cross swords in the final hexagonal tournament. "The details, date and place of the draw for this final stage will be announced in due course", have informed the authorities of FIFA.

Taking into account the provision of all the Grenadiers in the last Gold Cup, the shot is playable. However, the national coach, Marc Collat, which is at loggerheads with Jeff Louis, must address the lack of offensive efficiency displayed by the national team. The latter also requires a metronome able to distill good balls to attackers. Match-tests meet the most posh nations of world football are also an important factor that can allow Haiti to reach the final place of the World Cup FIFA 2018 Russia.

The question is whether Marc Collat ​​and the authorities of the Haitian Football Federation (FHF) have the means to their policy. In fact, the road must travel Grenadiers be long, difficult and expensive.
