Oh is that what this surface is? Turf or turfs it's like a patchwork quilt that 500 years old.

This is way worse than BC Place or Gillette. This might even be worse than the Big O. Its hurting Canada

If you can ignore the paint job this turf plays exactly like all of the turf fields in CPL.

Best attack in CONCACAF and we can’t use it because of the pitch. I understand the logic in playing in Edmonton, but this is one bad bounce from becoming a debacle.

I think we're letting the players off the hook if we're blaming the pitch for failing to muster any sort of attack.

I’m sure every single person on this site has. We all watch the CPL after all. 

But the state of the lines and numbers all over the field for a significant WC qualifier has a real feel of amateurism about it. 

Anyway, last comment on the field from me. Enjoy the game JV.

I assume IG wasn't a starter due to scheduling but it really should have been number one choice. Maybe it was.

[ag futbol]

ismail elfath Is an idiot. It should already be at the point of calling persistent infringement for fouls on Laryea

[jonovision]

IG has all of the same drawbacks.

[toontownman]

Costa Rica doing a good job frustrating. Ref playing his part too.

[footballfreak]

HE KICKED THE BALL

[jonovision]

Ridiculous decision.

[ag futbol]

WTF kind of call is that ?

[Big_M]

Vitoria yellow...this rythm is good for costa rica not us...gotta go faster link up quickly and take them on

I don't know, I haven't seen weird bounces, players getting feet stuck in the turf and falling over like this at IG or most other more modern pitches. But to be fair I just thought it was the valour players skill level.

[ag futbol]

I realize he’s still scored fairly frequently but Jonathan David as a lone central striker does not work 

[_Vic_]

He kicked him in the leg, then the ball. Pretty good call by the official from a bad angle.

That was dangerous if Borjan didn't hold that. 

[footballfreak]

Davies needs to move the ball quicker.

[Dominic94]

Are you fucking with me

[Big_M]

Again wheeler judging way too fast and in favour of canada without watching closely...no foul there

[jonovision]

Need a better look but that seemed like a clear penalty, unless there's a dive.

[scullion44]

God forbid we get a pen call go our way for once
