It was funny, but not as funny as your reply.

Nice to see Americans still don't get sarcasm though

You are wrong. The Euro qualifiers, Africa, Asia even South American all have just as bad pitches.

Quit telling him he's wrong. He's right. European teams don't have to play on fields nearly as shitty as the ones we played on in Antigua and Barbuda. Quit fooling yourself that this isn't the case.

Yes they do. There are some shite fields esp in eastern europe or the small countries, Not everyone has places like Wembley.

You lived in Europe you should know this. Every federation has this and the bigger countries always bitch about it.

Eastern Europe =/= Antigua and Barbuda

Serbia's GDP is 81.1 billion. Antigua and Barbuda's is 1.6 billion.

Most of the complaints about bad pitches in Eastern Europe are because the pitches are artificial. There are some terrible grass ones, but there's little chance of a European squad playing a qualifier on a pitch reminiscent of Guatemala's.

Nothing beats the old Costa Rica stadium straight up fake grass with plastic under it.

I'm glad you finally agree with me that CONCACAF fields are worse than UEFA fields.

I think some in Africa and Asia are just as bad. Even south america ,like dandy said there have been some copa america games played on shitastic fields.

The England vs San Marino pitch was bad

probably plays to our advantage b/c it will frick up dribbling/passing and negate the skill advantage of portugal/germany
Our 3 games are at 3 different locations





PS - from the article:

quote:

"We've started to implement an emergency plan to try to save the field and improve it as much as possible, but I don't think it'll be in good condition [by the weekend]."

Measures to improve the dry, patchy surface were in full swing on Wednesday.

"Yesterday we put fertiliser, and we'll increase the fertilising process with biostimulants and seeds to try to get the most out of the grass," Botella said.
How is this possible? They couldn't water the fricking fields prior to this week?

I'm sure. Don't think we aren't all looking forward to England bombing out again.
