Haiti's head coach Sebastian Minie emphasized attacking football ahead of the nation's historic World Cup match against Scotland on June 14 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, kicking off at 4:00 MSK. Haiti returns to the tournament for the first time since 1974.
"If you want to win matches, you need to score goals, regardless of who your opponent is," Minie told FIFA's official website. "The level of opponents pushes us to play better. We will have to push ourselves, but the essence remains the same."
Minie stressed that scoring will be critical for Haiti's Group C campaign: "If we want to achieve a historic victory at the World Cup and then exit the group, we will have to score goals, regardless of the opponent."
Haiti's attacking strategy may attract strong betting interest, with underdog teams in group stage matches often drawing significant wagering in tournament handicapping markets.
