World Cup 2026 interesting irrelevance 18:19 - Jun 18 with 637 views

My team was playing in an east coast regional championship the weekend in NJ. The venue was a place called Tuckenhoe turf farms. They grow grass for major sports teams.

Got chatting and discovered they were growing the fields for the World Cup east coast venues. The story was that every team playing at their allotted stadiums had to have the exact playing surface as each other. Also the designated training fields for the same teams had to be the same as the venues pitch.

Apparently some controversies of late with teams subject to different playing surfaces. Poor loves.
On inspection the Bermuda grass field in front of me defined the word lush. It was beautiful and going to be used in Philadelphia.

Bloke in a truck looking at me weird. Got chatting and me lamenting how brilliant I thought it was to see this etc. It’s just grass was his reply.

Lost 8-0 in the final if anyone cares. They shouldn’t have been there but teams love to enter things and look good. 35 teams involved.

I've decided, if England end up playing a match at the Azteca, I will try and go, regardless of the cost to my bank balance and marriage.
