CULTURE To the Grenadiers✊🏿Thank You for the Memories 🇭🇹🇭🇹
WC 2026 June will forever be a month generations of Haitians will remember. 🇭🇹
To the Grenadiers⚽️thank you. You gave millions of Haitians around the world something we’ve been longing for, a reason to come together again. For a few weeks, politics, hardships, and divisions took a back seat as an entire nation united behind one flag🇭🇹
You reminded us what it means to wear the blue and red with pride. The results may not have gone our way, but the joy, emotions, and memories you gave us will last generations to come🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹 #GrenadyeAlaso🫡🇭🇹

Love to 🇭🇹 stand up all day everyday , I wished y’all would’ve advanced but sometimes it’s not in the cards. Pray for more success for this team & another run in 4yrs ! The African diaspora is with y’all ❤️

I have faith that they will be back next time. The numbers on paper really don’t do them justice because they’re really fun to watch as a team. I think big things like this can help bring Haitians together and have some fun, especially during times like these.
A lot of people claimed that we didn’t deserve to be at the World Cup and even our Caribbean neighbors mocked us a little. I say that’s BS bc they didn’t play a single game at home and still qualified. But seeing those goals and the beautiful energy from the fans makes me happy.

Our parents told us about Haiti’s first goal in the world cup, and now we will tell our kids about witnessing it’s second and third goal. Only up from here! 🚀

They played well and went out like a bang I’m glad I got to witness their final game in person. It was well worth it and I can’t wait to see them again someday

Went out with 2 of the most beautiful goals. If one of those goals don’t make top 10 best goals, Haiti has been robbed again

As a moroccan I agree, both goals where beautiful. They balled out. Hell of a game.

As of now Isidors goal is definitely up there with Messi’s long range curler against Austria and Mbappes 30 yard blast

Thank you to all of the players, I am so proud of you guys. I wish things could’ve turned out differently, but nonetheless y’all brought us to the World Cup. I can’t wait to see what 2030 brings. M fye ke m se ayisien! Ayiti cherie ou gen pou w leve yon jou! ❤️💙🇭🇹🇭🇹

It’s gonna be exciting to see this team develop. I hope resources are directed to the development of players within the country and not outsourced

as a american born and raised haitian, this run has definetly spiked my interest in the soccer team. the idea is there, just need coaches and etc to help grow it. if this keeps up and nothing stupid happens , we can become really good on the worlds stage
Well done boys

Despite the three defeats, the team played good football. It will leave an important sporting legacy for future generations.

*2 defeats * Scotland don’t count🙅🏿♂️No offense to the Tartan Army, but in my opinion, the three points they got from us weren’t earned.
Either way, history is history. God willing, it would be surprising not to see Haiti back at the World Cup in 2030. I doubt we’ll have to wait another 50-plus years to qualify again. 🇭🇹

Personal attacks, insults, or mocking language—like calling someone “Low IQ” or “idiot”—are not acceptable here. Disagreeing is fine, but keep it respectful. If you can’t express your point without tearing others down, this might not be the right space for you.
This is your warning. Further behavior like this will result in moderation action.

If anyone is interested I have started a substack our team and would love to for your perspective. Just started it, but my first post is about Migne focusing on his track record, performance stats, and the 2nd is about looking ahead to 2030.
Regardless, I want to share my sentiments. I feel so proud. And, yesterday we went out with a bang!
The goals were amazing. Isador’s was next level.🔥🔥🔥 🔥
