Haiti

It's likely a combination of both. Haiti held their own against Panama last game (1-1 draw with a 2nd Haiti goal cleared off the line), a team which if you'll remember WOULD have gone to the WC instead of Mexico if the US hadn't beaten them. US played absolutely terrible too. Haiti is really fast and athletic, and they went up against a team of bench players (7 changes from Honduras) that included an entirely new backline. The backline in particular is probably the slowest I've ever seen. Evans is a slow CB playing RB, Gonzo is notoriously slow (usually partnered with a faster CB like Besler), and Ream seemed to still be in Europe on vacation because he was slow as well.
