The solution is to never play any more NFL games in 3rd world countries.

How many plays did they run in the back corner of one end-zone?

Every player that even steps on turf like that is one too many

Can’t be worse than when we played penn state in the 2010 capital one bowl, that was horrendous!

AFTER the game it will look horrible and it was for a single game. What’s the issue?

A painted endzone tells you nothing. What was the middle of the field like?

Philadelphia’s old turf field was awful and it caused a serious injury to the Saints’ (and LSU’s) Eric Martin. The Eagles knew where the worst seams were and avoided them. That field in Brazil was better than what they used to force visitors to play on. Wah Wah Wah!!!

Exactly. I was watching the game thinking this. The field looked like complete shite.
If Jordan Love, that's entirely the fault of Roger Goodell.

Watched 3 plays of the 2nd half on replay, Packer players looked like they were trying to cut on ice, then I see Love sprained his MCL during the game. Goodell needs to go F himself for continuing to play games down there.

Do people even pay attention anymore? Love would've been injured on that play in any of the 32 NFL stadiums. The injury occurred when Carter hit his lower leg. It wasn't a non-contact injury while he was running.

Also Goodell wasn't continuing to do anything down there. This was the first (and hopefully last) game in the southern hemisphere. They're trying to take things international and couldn't resist a live Friday night international game in a similar timezone. They ought to look at Australia (15 hours ahead) where they could play an 10am Sunday game for a Week 0 7pm Saturday primetime here.

The grass is in the back corner of the end zone.
What does the 50 yard line grass look like?

Not sure when NFL learns its lesson Mexico should have taught them. At some point a major player with a major injury maybe fixes this.
