Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni criticized the stadium for his country’s match against Canada, in the opening match of the Copa America, because of the pitch on which the match was played.
Argentina achieved an important victory over its Canadian counterpart with two clean goals at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
“We knew for seven months that we would play here and then they changed the grass two days ago. This is not good for the overall image. This is not an excuse. The stadium is beautiful and with artificial turf it would certainly be wonderful, but the presence of turf today was not suitable for such players to play against a strong Canadian team, with the presence of strong strikers in a disastrous stadium, made things difficult for us. Winning always enhances confidence in the team. I said that Canada is a difficult opponent, and it was really like that, but it is a good test.” Scaloni said after the match.
