Why do our players slip in ever match ? Palacio, Lucho, Tevez, Messi and Aimar. This cannot be just a coincidence or nerves.

This is ridiculous and Fifa HAS to do something about the condition of the pitch. Maybe they need watering down. They are clearly not in optimal conditions.

Are we the only country suffering from this ? I have seen players slip in other matches so we can't be the only ones complaining.

It has been happening to almost every team this World Cup.. Several players from different nations are complaining about this, yet FIFA continues to wet the field 10 minutes before every match.. =\

In an interview with Crespo, he said that they put water on the fields before the game...... I guess to make the ground soft, i dunnoo....

He also said they use metal studs in there cleats, but it's still very bad.

Is it real grass that they use? It sometimes looks like turf.

I was reading that its the new pitches, which are the dodgy ones. If you look at the old stadia, you dont have the same problem. The watering is also an issue. It really is costing us, and last night Tevez and Crespo slept at crucial times. :mad:
