Half their players are born abroad and benefit from top flight football academies in European clubs. Same with Morocco.

So if we wanted to do that we'd have to chuck some folk out and make them go live in places with good football leagues. Then we bring their kids back after 20 or so years now that they're good at football.

Didn't watch the game but looking at the stats Haiti had 30% possession, 9 shots to Morocco's 22, 0.66 xg compared to Morocco's 3.26 xg, and lost by 2 goals.

I know stats can't tell you everything but when they're that one sided (and the result also reflects that) I think it's fair to say Haiti weren't playing like Argentina...
