[Blyth]

I can see record amount of serious injuries happening in this tournament.

Our very own Habib Diarra testing out the pitch.

What on earth is that pitch

 

[DBStar]

I feel sorry for any team with players who have to play at the MetLife.

 

[Local Lad]

Did they even compact the soil/sand?

Not sure if its my head playing tricks but it sounds like its bouncing onto hollow metal.

Aparently the organisers said we want it to be hallowed turf for some players. The builders thought they meant hollow turf.
Just move all the games to Mexico where they probably have proper pitches

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

The level of MAGA recism in the replies to the Senegal clip is off the scale. This is shaping up to be a disaster for FIFA.

I mean that's borderline unplayable

They’ve basically laid turf on top of concrete in some stadiums.

 

[Shieldsman]

Yanks in thinking 'soccer' pitches are exactly the same as American football pitches shocker.

Who would have thunk that they'd fuck it up?

 

[Mackem00]

My ankle ligaments are aching just from watching them videos.

Made the stupid mistake of reading through the replies.

This is building up to be a car crash of a world cup

Gerraway man.. it’ll be the bigliest, most beautiful World Cup ever.. everyone thinks so apart from most people.

Jesus Christ, I presume these places aren't usually used for proper Football

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Players were complaining about the standard of the pitches at the Copa America in USA 2 years ago. Seems they haven't improved.

 

[SAFCBlandy]

That's apparently not actually a world cup pitch in the Senegal team video.

Going to be some serious injury risks. Spurs already investigating their pitch for being linked to ACL injuries. Trust the yanks to not be able to grow proper grass

Just hope no injuries to any of our players

Boycott it lads and lasses.

Nothing good can come of this World Cup.

 

[Nedved]

I don't want to go all Roy Keane in Saipan, but if Senegal are training on in ahead of the world cup, then I'd argue it is a world cup pitch.

 

[Cockney Mackem]

These days it's not a proper World Cup unless the host nation is completely unsuitable

Fair point
