1974 brought with it a couple of memorably pitiful World Cup teams, one of whom were Haiti.

The Haitians' first and (to date) only World Cup appearance ended in incredibly disappointing fashion, exiting at the group stage following a 3-1 defeat to Italy, a 7-0 demolition at the hands of eventual third-placed Poland and a 4-1 loss to Argentina - a set of results that left them with a goal difference of -12.
