Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007 ? Hasely Crawford Stadium, Trinidad: After the toughest route to the final, playing more qualification games than any other team, Haiti lifted the Digicel Caribbean Cup after defeating Trinidad & Tobago 2-1 in a thrilling final.
Watched by an expectant crowd of 18,000, Wim Rjisbergen?s Soca Warriors could not break down a stubborn home defence, expertly marshaled by Digicel Man of the Match Richard Pierre Bruny, as Luis Amelia Garcia?s side took their chances to bring the Digicel Caribbean Cup back to Port-au-Prince for the very first time.
A cagey opening 20 minutes saw few chances created before the game burst into life on 21 minutes when the Haitians silenced the noisy home crowd by opening the scoring.
Cadet Elphine made a surging run down the right before squaring the ball for Brunel Fucien. Fucien?s first time shot was pushed away by Williams in the Trinidad & Tobago goal but Boucicaut Alexandre was on hand to turn the ball home.
Trinidad struggled to come back into the game but showed their first real threat in stoppage time at the end of the first half. Kerry Baptiste fired just wide 1 minute into stoppage time and Kerwin Jemmott came even closer seconds later, Gabard in the Haiti goal blocking his long range shot.
But Rjisbergen?s side couldn?t keep their momentum after the break and on 52 minutes Haiti seemed to have one hand on the Digicel Caribbean Cup. A goalmouth scramble resulted from a Williams? fumble and Brunel Fucien turned the ball home to give the Haitians a two goal lead.
With the crowd silenced, Haiti seemed comfortably on top but the game changed with a set piece. Trinidad earned a free kick fully 35 yards out on 66 minutes giving Nigel Daniel a sight of goal. Daniel?s vicious right foot strike, a real contender for goal of the tournament, left Gabard with no chance and brought the game alive again.
With the crowd performing an enthusiastic Mexican wave, the Soca Warriors poured forward in search of an equalizer. Substitute Joel Bailey almost found the net on 76 minutes, his header from Power?s long cross well held by Gabard.
As the crowd grew increasingly tense, the Soca Warriors threw 4 up front in the closing minutes and goalkeeper Gabard became the Haitian hero. He denied Glasgow after a flowing move, tipped over a Theobald free kick and then with only 2 minutes left on the clock brilliantly saved from Darryl Roberts after a mazy run.
Despite 4 nail biting minutes of stoppage time, Haiti held on for a famous victory which will be celebrated long into the night in Port-au-Prince.
Trinidad and Tobago: Jan Michael Williams, Makan Hislop (Joel Bailey 64), Osei Telesford, Leslie Fitzpatrick ,Kerwin Jemmot, Darryl Roberts, Gary Glasgow, Kerry Baptiste, Seon Power, Nigel Daniel, Densill Theobold Haiti: Fenelon Gabard, Gilles Frantz (Dacius Gilles 90), Guillaume Stephane, Brunel Fucien, Cadet Eliphene (Lormera Roody 90), Boucicaut Alexandre (Raymond Ednerson 63), James Marcelin, Richard Pierre Bruny, Chery Mones, Vubert Alain, Maynard Josue

5 Offsides 2 | | | | | Bravo to the brave and talented Haitian players, especially goalkeeper Gabart who playd an excellent match making major saves when it counts !
This ia also a fitting way to say thank you to departing Commandante Fidel, given that Haiti's new coach is Cuban and Cuba had also managed to beat Guadeloupe to capture the 3rd place.
All in all a good day for both Haiti and Cuba. Souris et reposes-toi ami Fidel !
As for our Trini brothers, we wish them better luck next time and we remind them that we still hold them in high regards because they represented the Caribbean with dignity in the last World cup.
A final note for the journalists, Haiti is not a french-speaking nation but a KREYOL-SPEAKING NATION which was once kidnapped by French slave makers. All these fantastic dribbles you saw on the field could never happen if the Haitian players were communicating with each other in French which barely 10% of the population uses out of necessaity. That natural elegance you saw on the field, is 100% Kreyol. Bon jan kreyol ki bay rezilta bon boul !
Viv Ayiti, nasyon solèy, nasyon Kreyol ! | | | | |

To add to what you said, Jafrikayiti
Just because you speak French does not make you French, just as speaking English does not make you British. ....
However, speaking French make you a member of the Francophony (Franco) Family ... So, We are Franco-Kreyol Speaking Nation ... Vive Haiti, Nation Soleil, Nation Franco, Nation Creole
P.S. ... This is a Football post, lets continue this debate somewhere else ... | | | | | | Salut Jaf. Happy to see you again. Ou nan lakay ou. | | | | | Quote:

My point is this: the natural language spoken by the players on and off the field is KREYOL, not French. Fact is, Haiti is said to be a french-speaking nation for the very reason it is also said to be a catholic nation....these fake images are based on the remnants of colonisation. "Official Haiti" adopted these fake identitities to please the former colonizers, but "real Haiti" is also the Haiti of freedom and authenticity, it speaks the language the bannapye "raram, soul rasta, patikoul"....had used to celebrate that victory in the streets of Port-au-Prince last night. It is that same language Haitians all over the globe used to comment that victory...that one language is KREYOL.
When was the last time you heard a carnival song in French in Haiti?
This Franco-phony thing is exactly that 100% Phoney!
Ayisyen pale Kreyol, yo pale Franse, yo pale Panyòl, yo pale Angle, selon nesesite lavi .... men nou pa yon nasyon frankofòn, ni anglofòn, ni ispanofòn. Nou se yon nasyon Kreyòl, ki demele n pou nou naje nan tout dlo pou nou pa neye.
Yon jou, lè nou va kase dènye chenn yo, ekip foutbòl nou yo va gen antrenè Ayisyen. Nou va tèlman gen antrenè, nou pral voye antrenè pou ede ekip Sentlisi, Ladominik, ....e ou konnen ki lang antrenè a va pale ak jwè ekip sa yo...? Kreyòl!
Kidonk, pandan Regis Debray ap defann kòz francophone li, noumenm Ayisyen nou va aprann defann kòz kreyolofòn nou, nan enterè kilti pa nou, nan enterè ekonomik ak kiltirèl nasyon pa nou.
Boul se plezi, boul se politik tou wi... politik ekonomik, politik kiltirèl. | | | | |
