The US U-20 is still a team of pros and I wouldn't be suprised if they win. I don't think they will, but look at how many of those guys are already key players for their pro team.

Some of the teams that competed in that Caribbean Digicel Cup are not truly giving Haiti credit for winning that tournament. Word in haiti is the Coach,
being aware of the situation decided to play a couple regulars and a couple
reserve players. The truth is he did not want to get discredited by the Haitian NT losing to the U20 US team. Not trying to diss Haiti in any way whatsoever, but the truth is the U20 NT could've possibly beaten the real Haitian NT. Haiti will get better though, that team that won the Digicel Caribbean Cup only got together a week before the tournament started. Once this country gets back on it's feet, their soccer program will be very good. Unlike other caribbean islands, Soccer is the national sport, but with no money in the program, instability, emigration, etc, etc, etc, most of the good prospects rather go to school, get an education and get the hell outta that island, leaving the less fortunate to carry on in a sport program that is basically neglected by authorities that can make a difference.

Haiti is also a big country in the Caribbean (population wise) this will help tremendously with their talent pool. I expect Haiti to once again become a force in Caribbean and Concacaf football. This is good for the Caribbean. Hopefully the entire region can improve.
