Ranked 83rd in the world, Haiti face Scotland in Boston on Saturday in the country's first match at a World Cup since 1974.They are clear underdogs in a group also containing Brazil and Morocco, but the Grenadiers believe they can spring a surprise."I feel pride for the people of Haiti. We know people might have a bad image of our country, that it has lots of problems, but this will do the country, the people, my family so much good," star midfielder Jean-Ricner Bellegarde told AFP."This is like a big celebration for them, and we are all going to enjoy it."The 27-year-old Bellegarde, born in the Paris suburbs, has played more than 80 times in the English Premier League over the last three years with Wolverhampton Wanderers.He is one of several foreign-born players of Haitian heritage who have joined the team coached by Frenchman Sebastien Migne, and Bellegarde had a key role as Haiti notably finished above 2014 World Cup quarter-finalists Costa Rica in qualifying."Now are just going to go one game at a time, give our best and see where that takes us," added Bellgarde after a training session watched by local children and Haitian fans at the team's Stockton University base, near Atlantic City.A US government ban has prevented fans travelling from Haiti, a country plagued for years by instability. The United Nations recently said almost 1.5 million people within Haiti have been displaced due to gang-led violence.However, the team should have considerable backing at their games from the sizeable Haitian community in the United States. After facing Scotland they play Brazil in Philadelphia on June 19 and Morocco in Atlanta on June 24.The Haitian squad, who were unable to play qualifiers in their home country due to the security situation, got a taste of that support in two friendlies staged in Florida last week.'Deliver a message'"The country does so well supporting the team. I think a lot of people were able to see that when we played in Fort Lauderdale, when we played in Miami, the support that we had and the atmosphere they created," said Derrick Etienne, a winger with MLS side Toronto FC.
