Port-au-Prince.– Jean-Jacques Pierre scored a hat trick for Haiti in a regional World Cup qualifier, and the Dominican Republic lost 3-2 to El Salvador, which has been to the World Cup twice.

Haiti thrashed the United States Virgin Islands, 6-0, in Port-au-Prince with three goals from Pierre, a right back, in a Concacaf second-round qualifier for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

Canada, which last played in the World Cup in Mexico in 1986, beat St Lucia, 4-1, in Toronto as teams jockey for places in the third round where Mexico, the United States and Honduras join after receiving early-round byes.

Canada leads its round-robin qualifying group, ahead of Puerto Rico and St. Kitts and Nevis, who played to a 0-0 draw on Friday to both collect a point. St. Lucia sits in last place.

The World Cup in Brazil, involving 32 countries playing 64 matches, will be held from June 12 to July 13, 2014.

Football? who the hell cares, other than those nincompoops playing?
what were the last names of the supposed dominican players? Pierre, Joseph, DeMare, LeGuarde?


We (RD) are just 2 elections away from becoming haiti. lest we wake. Which
is gonna be difficult when they are more and more of haitian descent,,can you say catch 22?

I am pleasantly surprised to see that the dominicans players have make a great match in front of SALVADOR!
Even if they lost, they scored twice in front of a very difficult team!
This team of SALVADOR is not easy to fight!

Thank you riosm for this nice word about haiti : good.

actually, losing by a narrow margin to El Salvador is s very good result for the DR, in a sport it does not profess excellence. losing 3-2 to a recognized team is as good as beating the Virgin Islands

Dread that is the US Virgin Islands....... the citizens of the BVI may take offense to be associated with the far wealthier and prosperous USVI .....

Johnny, why would the citizens of the British Virgin Island take offense if the United States Virgin Island is wealthier and more prosperous?.........

I watched the game with a friend in a Salvadorian restaurant and let me tell you they were not happy at all with the results, considering the first half ended 0-0 with a full stadium (35,000) and also that the DR team played with just 10 guys the entire 2nd half of the game and was still able to score 2 goals and not by penalty kicks as one of their goals was against DR. Both teams will play again in October, this time in the DR.

The press in El Salvador was outraged with the final score as it was considered an upset. You have to consider that this is their favorite sport. I told my friend that while in El Salvador the game was front page news, in the DR just 1 local newspaper mentioned the game in a small article and that 99% of Dominicans were not even aware of the game.

The result was very good news for the DR. El Salvador isn't a top squad by international standing but they have consistently ranked far higher than the DR. And for good reason: It's their National Sport!

Detail time range summary - From Sep 2010 To Sep 2011
Team Highest Lowest Average Ranking
Dominican Republic Jul 2011 - 132 Sep 2010 - 181 162.833
El Salvador Jun 2011 - 72 Dec 2010 - 117 96.917


http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball....&fy=2010&tm=9&ty=2011


Hopefully, in the next ten years DR will rank somewhere in the 80's World wide! Our Women's Team is currently ranked 87th in the World. Then we'll have a good chance to compete as contenders not pretenders! Still a lot of hard work ahead, perhaps we might get some talent from Spain or other places where Dominicans have settled?

what do you think about the next match between the two teams?
One side you have DR will going to show their talent and try to catch a victory, another side you have Salvador, which is very critiqued by their own population about the little result in front of DR.

Congrats to Haiti.

On another note, the game against El Salvador was a good one, they again played almost the entire game with a one man advantage, even so we were able to tie the game in the 2nd half and did not tie it again by the grace of god, as they were multiple shots that bounced back of the poles, El Salvador won desperately asking for the end of the game on their tip of their toes. The difference in the score was their accounted for penalty kick and the obvious one the referee chose to ignore in our favor. No excuses though, that's all part of the game, but it denotes great improvement by the Dominican team yet much more still to be learned but we're getting there.

Varios futbolistas de RD firman en región y Europa

Varias figuras de la Selección Dominicana de Fútbol de mayores concretaron importantes contratos profesionales con equipos de diferentes ligas de la región y en Europa.

Erick Ozuna y Rafael Flores firmaron su contrato de vinculación profesional con el club Árabe Unido, actual campeón de Panamá y donde juega el portero de la selección Miguel Lloyd.

Jonathan Faña (El Nene) llegó al histórico club Alianza, de El Salvador, con la responsabilidad de ser considerado el gran fichaje de esta liga Centroamericana.

Faña militaba en el Puerto Rico Islander, de la vecina isla caribeña y con el Bauger FC, de la liga mayor del fútbol dominicano.

Asimismo, en Europa, nuestro capitán Heinz Barmettler fichó con el FC Vaduz, de Liechtensein, que forma parte de la liga Suiza. Proviene del Bacu FC, de Azerbaiyán.

Todo esto viene a demostrar que el fútbol del país sigue creciendo dentro del profesionalismo, más allá de la gran penetración que lo coloca como el deporte de mayor crecimiento en los últimos 5 años en República dominicana.

El crecimiento del fútbol criollo a nivel internacional se refleja, en el hecho de que República Dominicana actualmente ocupa la posición número 93 en el ranking de la Federación Internacional (FIFA), luego de terminar en el lugar 131 hace apenas un año.

En otras palabras, a nivel mundial se avanzaron 38 lugares en el escalafón de la FIFA.

La Selección Dominicana de Mayores está desarrollando un plan de trabajo para este 2013, en que se vislumbra mucha actividad y la organización de eventos históricos para el país



Slowly the lads are developing their international skill sets. Perhaps in 10 years we might cause some countries in the region serious troubles in qualification matches.
