And while we're at it

Can we play major futbol events in stadiums that actually have grass fields? I watched the USA v Canada game from Detroit and the pitch was ridiculous! The ball was bouncing all over the place, the turf was coming up in gobs, and some of the grass was brown! Putting sod on top of artificial turf is just wrong. International matches featuring the best players from their countries deserve to be played on a good pitch. I'm sorry if the folks in New England, New York, and Dallas have turf fields, too bad. If you wanted to host big futbol matches you should have put in a grass field. Arizona managed. FIFA (as if it didn't have enough problems) needs to step in and mandate true grass fields for international play. There are plenty of good stadiums with grass fields in the US to cover even the biggest of competitions and we will travel to them. Screw the Dallas Palace, Jerry Jones could have put a grass field in there. If they can do it in Green Bay, WI and Phoenix, AZ they can do it anywhere. Nuff said.
