U-17: Haiti mixe résultat / Les petits s'échauffent dans la cour des grands
Mardi 31 juillet 2007
Qu'importent les médailles : les équipes en lice pour la Coupe du Monde U-17 de la FIFA, Corée 2007, n'auraient pu trouver meilleur apprentissage que le tournoi de football des Jeux Panaméricains de Rio de Janeiro.
Plusieurs équipes qualifiées pour le prochain rendez-vous mondial U-17 ont eu la chance rare de se mesurer à des formations seniors, un exercice exigeant, riche d'enseignements précieux pour la Corée.
Déception du Brésil, discrétion de l'Argentine
Malgré les progrès montrés, l'équipe locale gardera un triste souvenir du tournoi. Pourtant, la jeune Seleção, emmenée par ses figures de proue Lulinha et Maicon, semblait filer droit vers la demi-finale après des victoires relativement aisées sur le Honduras et le Costa Rica.
Las, lors du dernier match du Groupe A, un Equateur intraitable la fauche en plein vol. L'expérience a parlé et les Auriverdes, vaincus 4:2, ont dû renoncer au rêve de se couvrir d'or dans leur stade mythique du Maracana.
L'autre icône sud-américaine, l'Argentine, est elle aussi tombée dès le premier tour, sur fond de prestations en demi-teinte. Solides en défense mais improductifs en attaque, les Albicelestes ont concédé un nul face à Haïti (1:1) et à la Colombie (0:0), mais ont chuté contre la Jamaïque (0:2), future médaille d'argent.
La Colombie affiche un meilleur bilan, soit un nul face à l'Argentine et une victoire contre Haïti (1:0). Seule la puissante Jamaïque a réussi à tenir en échec les Cafeteros (0:0), qui, invaincus, pourront poursuivre avec confiance leur préparation à Udine, en Italie, dernière étape avant la Corée.
Apprentissage pour l'Amérique centrale et les Caraïbes
La joute de Rio de Janeiro n'a pas servi de banc d'essai à la seule partie sud du continent. Des formations de la CONCACAF - le Costa Rica, le Honduras et Haïtí - ont elles aussi profité de cette occasion de s'aguerrir avant de partir en terres asiatiques.
Premier au tableau d'honneur, le Honduras a porté haut le flambeau des U-17 de sa région en damant le pion aux Ticos (2:1). Galvanisés par l'attaquant Johnny Leverón, les Catrachos ont fait bonne figure, malgré leurs défaites contre le Brésil (0:3) et l'Equateur (2:3).
De son côté, le Costa Rica n'a pas confirmé la bonne impression laissée lors des éliminatoires de Corée 2007 et, après une entame prometteuse face à l'Equateur, (1:1), future médaille d'or, il a subi la loi du Brésil (0:2) et du Honduras.
Haïti a, pour sa part, envoyé un effectif mixte de joueurs U-17 et U-20, avec des résultats mitigés. Les Caribéens ont décroché un nul encourageant (1:1) face à l'Argentine, pour être ensuite défaits par la Colombie (0:1) et la Jamaïque (0:4).
Après ce prélude panaméricain au rendez-vous asiatique du 18 août prochain, il reste aux jeunes footballeurs à bétonner leur préparation afin de se présenter au top niveau en Corée, pour un tournoi qui, à en juger par les matches d'échauffement, s'annonce des plus serrés et palpitants.

Haiti mixed result as Korea hopefuls warm up in Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro
Tuesday 31 July 2007
They may have missed out on a place on the podium, but the national squads preparing for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Korea 2007 could hardly have asked for a better pre-tournament workout than the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Benefiting from a rare opportunity to test themselves physically and mentally against older players, the experience gained is sure to serve them well on Korean soil.
Brazil edged out, Argentina show steel
As it transpired, the tournament was to be a less than fulfilling experience for the host nation, who nevertheless showed glimpses of their undoubted talent. The young Auriverdes got off to a promising start, appearing set for a place in the semi-finals on the back of comfortable group stage victories over Honduras and Costa Rica.
However, before an astonished crowd at the Maracana stadium, an inspired performance from Ecuador ended the Brazilians' medal hopes. Making the most of their age advantage, the Andean side stormed to a 4-2 win in the final game of Group A and thus guaranteed their own involvement in the last four.
Nor did fellow South American heavyweights Argentina make it through the first phase. The Albicelestes, solid in defence but lacking ideas up front, could only draw 1-1 with Haiti and 0-0 against Colombia, before going down 2-0 against eventual silver-medallists Jamaica.
Colombia, for their part, can look back on their involvement with justifiable pride, despite failing to come out of their group. Los Cafeteros emerged from Rio unbeaten and without conceding a goal after beating Haiti 1-0 and drawing 0-0 with Argentina and a powerful Jamaican outfit. Next up for the young Colombians is the Italian city of Udine, the team's last stop before making the journey to Korea.
Valuable lessons
Also taking the opportunity to sharpen their skills ahead of their Asian exploits were CONCACAF trio Costa Rica, Honduras and Haiti. Perhaps the best performers of the three were Honduras, whose 2-1 win over the Ticos set the standard for the region's U-17 sides taking part in Rio.
Los Catrachos, and star striker Jonny Leverton in particular, also gave a good account of themselves in defeats by Brazil and Ecuador, 3-0 and 3-2 respectively. Costa Rica, meanwhile, were unable to build on their promising performances during qualifying for Korea 2007. Despite getting off to a solid start with a 1-1 draw against eventual gold medallists Ecuador, the Central Americans were subsequently defeated 2-0 by hosts Brazil and 2-1 by Honduras.
Haiti selected a squad containing both U-17 and U-20 players, and drew mixed results in Rio. The Caribbean side picked up an encouraging 1-1 draw with Argentina, but were beaten 1-0 by Colombia and 4-0 by Jamaica.
And so went the Pan American Games Rio 2007 for those teams preparing for the forthcoming FIFA U-17 World Cup, which will get underway on 18 August. On the evidence of preparatory matches being played both here and across the globe, the fans in Korea are in for a veritable treat.

Soccer HAIHaiti (HAI)

HAIHaiti (HAI)
* Overview
* Fixtures and Results
* News
Known for individual technique and bombastic physical strength on the pitch, Haiti is currently undergoing a massive footballing revival in spite of over-arching social, economic and political upheaval. With a new academy system in place on the island with the aid of FIFA's Goal Programme, U-17 (and sometimes U-20) boss Jean-Yves Labaze is personally overseeing the development of a new crop of talent and grooming the young guns for future glories to match past and current heroes of the Haitian diaspora like Monno Sannon, Arsene August, Alexandre Boucicaut and Jean-Jacques Pierre. With their senior and U-20 teams currently champions of the Caribbean (for the first time) and having jumped to 88th in the FIFA/Coca-Cola world ranking, Labaze and his boys are hoping to feed the senior team with promising players for many years to come. A fine group-winning performance at the U-17 CONCACAF qualifiers in Honduras spoke to a new, organised and effective Haitian football. Korea 2007 will be the first-ever FIFA U-17 World Cup for the impoverished nation - the world's first black Republic, born of a slave rebellion in 1804 - and their first finals since they shocked the world to reach the FIFA World Cup in West Germany in 1974
Qualifying
Haiti travelled to Tegucigalpa for qualifying Group A as heavy underdogs. But after their first match, a 1-1 draw against Honduras, it became clear that this was not the talented but disorganised Haitian practitioners of recent years. There was a new tactical acumen and overall collective organisation. And although they surrendered the lead they got on the quarter-hour mark through Jean Francis Fabien Vorbe, Haiti hung on to their draw proudly, resisting both the talented Hondurans on the pitch and nearly 30,000 fans in the stands at the Tiburcio Carias Andino Stadium. Their second match was more of the same, and a 0-0 draw against rampaging favourites and defending world champions Mexico was more than most Haitians could have imagined. Everything hinged on their final contest against El Salvador. And the islanders let their native style ring, running out 3-0 winners thanks to goals from Vorbe, Harold Junior Charles and Normil Valdo. Tied with the hosts on five points from three games, the Haitians finished in first place by virtue of their superior goal difference.
Star Player
Jean Francis Fabien Vorbe hails from one of the most notable footballing families in Haitian history, previously producing such stars as Charles, Sebastian and Phillipe Vorbe. But his name was not what got him named top scorer at Group A qualifying in Tegucigalpa, but rather his knack for turning up in the right place at the right time. Scoring the crucial opener in the 15th minute of their first game against the hosts, Vorbe popped up again in the 3-0 win over El Salvador on the final matchday with a stunning strike from distance. Blessed with blistering pace, vision and overall talent, Vorbe will be hoping to keep the family name up in lights and help Haiti make a stir in Korea this summer.
Coach:
Since taking over the U-17 reins, the experienced Jean Yves Labaze - a native of Léogane - has overseen a new academy in Port au Prince for the last two years. In an attempt to overcome social and economic factors and turn Haiti into an organised footballing power, the boss has been working with the same crop of young Haitian players for the last two years in a comprehensive format - and many of the players have been together since the age of eleven. All the hard work culminated as the boss saw his side swoop to reach the final of the 2006 CFU Youth Cup (U-16), beating favourites and hosts Trinidad & Tobago along the way. All in the CONCACAF region stood up to take notice of a new-look Haitian outfit and pay tribute to the mastermind, Labaze. A first-place finish in Korea 2007 qualifying was, according to the coach, just another step in a long process of team building.
Record
* Korea 2007 will be Haiti's first-ever FIFA U-17 World Cup
* Haiti's last trip (at any age category) to a world finals was the 1974 FIFA World Cup
What they said...
"We've been working with this particular generation of players for quite some time now, and we are beginning to see the fruits of our hard labours. Qualifying for the U-17 World Cup is just another step along the way of improving Haitian football and looking toward the future." Jean-Yves Labaze, Haiti U-17 head coach.
