I have a real problem with the U21 Haitian National team. It is a very talented group but they need guidance and a disciplinarian as a head coach to stir them right. Obviously the current head man can NOT do the job. How do you explain loosing 2 games to Jamaica and Costa Rica 2-1 respectively in the CAF games and finishing the games with minimal number of players (8 players against Jamaica with 3 Sent offs : Ednerson 55?, Marcelin 73?, Jean 85? ) and ( 9 players against Costa Rica with 2 Sent offs: Judelin 45?+, Occenat 90?+ ) Where is the leadership of this team? If we don't discipline them now, when will we? It is a shame to see such talented team go to waste because of a lack of discipline and poor fairplay in the games. FHF needs to setup examples and suspend some of these players so they will learn not to act in such way the next time they represent the country..
