Haiti - 2026 World Cup : Coach Migné confident the Grenadiers can qualify for the second round (video)
After the 1-0 defeat on Saturday, June 13, in their first group match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Scotland's Tartan Army, French coach Sébastien Migné believes the Grenadiers are still in contention to qualify for the second round.
"We’re disappointed... But we’re still here. We’ve been prepared from the start knowing it won’t be easy. We were very effective in our build-up play up to 25 meters from the opposition’s goal, where we then lacked a bit of spontaneity. Also in our decision-making.
At 1-0, the aim was to inject some pace into the game, but not to get carried away : it could come down to goal difference. We know that if we win one of the three remaining matches, we can still be in contention, thanks to the best third-placed teams system. But above all, what a privilege to play in this atmosphere… it was fantastic.” We won't give up."
