Let's hope they figure the turf issues out by 2026.

The grass pitch, installed on top of the regular synthetic surface used for NFL games only 24 hours prior to this fixture, was a shocker. Bumpy and bare, with sand covering the patches where there was no grass, it was a manager’s nightmare, and helped ruin the spectacle for the spectators who braved the New Jersey rain to attend. Players slipped and slid, the ball bobbled unpredictably, and both sets of players looked uneasy, as if playing with the handbrake on. Even assured performers, such as Virgil van Dijk, looked affected. Klopp and Guardiola will have winced every time a challenge went in.



I'm surprised Klopp didn't just walk away

Shit fields can be very dangerous. If Meadowlands can do a field right, then they don't deserve a EPL talent game.
Really embarrassing for them. *
