The Belize men's national soccer team was greeted by gunmen in Haiti just minutes after they arrived in the country for a World Cup qualifier...
quote:

The Belize national team officials said in a statement Monday they were making their way from the airport to their hotel 3 days prior to their big soccer match ... when a band of armed insurgents on motorcycles pulled them over at gunpoint.

You can hear the soccer players in the bus describing the demands the insurgents were making -- "They said, 'Pull over or else!'"

The footage shot from inside the team bus shows dozens of men -- some armed with large firearms -- order the driver to pull to the side of the road, despite the team having a 4-man police escort.

Belize officials said cops were forced to "negotiate" with the men in order to leave unharmed -- and, thankfully, they were allowed to move forward with no one getting hurt in the confrontation.

Do think that if people really wanted to overthrow the government, they could do better than a few hipsters and geezers? Get your head out of your arse.

So it's a group of rouge police officers that are off-duty, that the on-duty officers needed to negotiate with? Can't tell if this is just them being bored, and messing with the opposing team to help them loss the game. Ha.

Sounds silly but this is why I roll my eyes when people say they want to move to Costa Rica. Sure it sounds awesome, but there’s no one to stop groups like this.

Haiti and Costa Rica aren’t close to comparable.
