Haiti is quite literally the Thug Republic lately.

Held up the Belize Natties on the way to a friendly with Haiti, had their President and First Lady assassinated in their own home...

We'd better watch out kneecaps out there.

Seems like I recall Haiti having a few French trained players with Haitian heritage on their team giving them some quality. I know that they will be very athletic overall.

ESPN has the US as significant favorites.

As they should be. 5 of Haiti's players are in USL an a few others play in Haiti.

They will also be missing ~5 players due to positive COVID tests.

It's hard to care about the Gold Cup with it being every 2 years and now there's no Confederations Cup entry for the winner which is what made those past Gold Cups so much fun.

Didn’t their President just get assassinated?

I think getting rid of confederations for an expanded club world cup is stupid.

The Confederations Cup bid or play in game bid for the winner made the Gold Cup awesome

Is that why they did it? I don't see why one has any impact on the other.

you'd think that if you want to expand the fan base... the easiest way to do it is by doing more national team competitions... not less

Yeah, they want to make it a big tourney. Dumb. How many more games can these tier 1 squads play? Cup, League, UCL, pre-season tournaments and now an expanded CWC?

Expanding the World Cup will give a lot more non-traditional countries more of a chance of qualifying.
