Isidor / Haiti

[Vauxie]

Surprised?

The 2 countries share the island of Hispaniola, it's basic common knowledge.

I looked into travelling to Hiati on a trip when we went to the Dominican about 3 years ago. Soon backed out when I realised what a shit storm the country had become unfortunately.

Where's Hiati like?

I really enjoyed yesterday’s discussion on “common knowledge”

An all expenses trip to Haiti every couple of months, who can blame him

If it was Tahiti maybe, not Haiti.

Just had his newborn as well. Long trips away. I wouldn't have bothered

During a conversation about where we were going for our holidays one of my mates said they were undecided about either Greece or Athens (seriously) he was taken aback when his geographical faux pas was pointed out.

How? It’s two different countries

My thought process being its a failed state, they share a relatively small island and there will be shared heritage and families. There's precedent with Ireland and the North being the biggest example.

But one thing was not made clear. Are there any oxbow lakes in Hispaniola?

Sadly not

He was waving a Haitian flag around during promotion celebrations so he feels some sort of strong ties to Haiti. As long as it hasn’t been pleasant there, it’s at its worst rn according to one Haitian I work with. Haiti have always been a classic mid tier CONCACAF team with lower Ligue 1 and Eastern European team players never threatening to make World Cup but frisky to play against in Qualifiers.

Jamaica who have been slightly better and now Curacao, Suriname and like El Salvador who were always around them have passed them by with more diaspora recruiting. With guys like Bellegarde, Edouard and now Isidor, Haiti are finally getting into the game more.

 

[FlashGordon]

Yes. I would expect the number of British people who

A) know where Hispaniola is

and B) which 2 countries “occupy” it

Is below 50%

I think you're giving people far too much credit. I think 60% of the country would say it's Spain! People are thick as fuck.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. It'll be below 50% to get it right. It's not common knowledge

The is very little cross over. They speak Spanish in the Dominican and French in Haiti. Historically the countries were at war and invaded each other from time to time.

 

[Haggis Heed]

Another country ticked off who will have played for the lads so all for it. Patiently waiting for us to sign a Lesotho international

 

[jayjaysafc]

Half the island then a pedantic sod.

No mate I'm just wondering what DR is like as there is no physical border as such between the 2 countries

Yeah, they're finally getting the idea that they can recruit from a lot of French players. Bellegarde aside, they mostly seem to be going for strikers though and Nazon and Pierrot are their best players. Lots based in the MLS as well.

Not in the squad for October Internationals

He'd be absolutely daft if he doesn't call up Isidor assuming he wants to play. Likewise Edouard.
