Haiti vs Honduras: Impressive Islanders deserve respect

Coach Marc Collat was disappointed Haiti lost to United States but it showed enough to give Honduras some concerns.

Impressive Haiti could still qualify for the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinals and should take plenty of confidence into its final group game against Honduras.

Despite sitting last in Group A heading into the final round of group fixtures, Haiti could still finish second and qualify automatically for the last eight and, based on its form, that outcome deserves to be rated at least a 50-50 prospect.

Haiti fought back to draw 1-1 with 2013 Gold Cup finalists Panama in their opening match and was perhaps unlucky to lose 1-0 to hosts and reigning champions United States on Friday.
