They did play on that pitch and at the highest international level the fields can be better than what they played on last night. They didn't opt out of the match so I'm not even sure what your saying to be honest. It was idiotic to schedule games in Minnesota and in the midwest in the winter....so yes the conditions for these athletes should be favorable as to not cause injuries like foot long craters in the field. The field was garbage.@LaJollaCreek no problem with those conditions, third world kids grow up with worse. How often is a foreign team forced to endure a spring blizzard in Colorado or playing in Columbus or anywhere else in the North when a southern venue could have been utilized?
our country club kids need to suck it up and play on any pitch where the game is scheduled.
