Let’s hope so, or there’s going to be a lot of injuries

They ought to be turfed out of FIFA if they don't know how to produce decent pitches.
This does not look good on 18:16 - May 28 with 3238 viewsZx1988 Seems a very strange process. Is that some sort of Desso-type hybrid pitch, hence why it's being laid in massive rolls like a carpet? Where's Frimmers when you need him?
This does not look good on 19:23 - May 28 with 2967 viewsGuthrum I remember a few years ago a major Rugby tournament where they used some form of drop-in pitch for some games. With 16 big blokes pushing in the scrums, the turf was rucking up like a badly-laid carpet.
This does not look good on 09:08 - May 29 with 2349 viewsRIPbobby Americans normally have much harder surfaces for NFL and the like. Lots more injuries than our softer underfoot pitches. So I guess there only choice is to lay softer pitches nearer to when they are needed. I'm sure one of our America based people could explain it better.

By their admission, the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, laid the final section of turf, 2 days ago. Scotland play Brazil there on June 24th

As long as there are cool temperate temps and plenty of rain I’m sure it’ll be fine

Might need to re-name it the Rock Hard Stadium.
I’ve seen that this week 3 major US venues laid rolled turf onto sand… on 22:49 - May 29 with 1335 viewsunstableblue … bases Yet it’s under 3 weeks to the start. I’m no groundman but that seems concerning? Isn’t the standard to now seed and stitch? Can you stitch these rolled turf pitched to give them more solidity? Obviously a lot wrong with this tournament due to the orange narcissist being associated with it and the crazy ticket prices But poor surfaces cannot be accepted in 2026
