On a Saturday night in Foxborough, two nations separated by ocean and circumstance find themselves sharing the same stage for the first time in a generation. Haiti, absent from the World Cup since 1974, and Scotland, away since 1998, meet at Boston Stadium in a match that carries the accumulated longing of millions of fans — many of whom have made New England their home. Boston, a city shaped by waves of diaspora, becomes for one evening the unlikely common ground where two long waits finally end.
