Today, the field that kept the Haitian players safe from harm is home to some of the half-million homeless in Haiti who are living in tents in the national soccer stadium. Last week, the team traveled to San Antonio to begin training for a May 5th game against the Argentine national team.
The team is spending two and a half weeks at the T Bar M Resort and Conference Center in New Braunfels and training at the local high school stadium.
