On a June afternoon in Boston, Scotland ended thirty-six years of World Cup silence with a single deflected goal, while Haiti — returning to the tournament stage after half a century away — demonstrated that absence had not diminished their spirit. The margin was narrow, the method unglamorous, but the meaning ran deep for both nations: one rediscovering belief, the other announcing a return. In the arithmetic of group football, three points and first place now belong to Scotland, while Haiti must convert promise into precision before their journey ends.
