Copa America: They changed the grass – Scaloni cries out despite Argentina’s 2-1 win

Argentina manager, Lionel Scaloni has expressed his dissatisfaction over the pitch for their 2024 Copa America opening clash against Canada on Thursday.

Argentina faced their North American opponents at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, US.

Scaloni and his men went home with all three points despite their obstacles as they beat Canada 2-0.

The South American country scored through Julian Alvarez (49′) and Lautaro Martinez (88′).

Scaloni complained about the pitch, saying (via Gaston Edul):

“We have known for 7 months that we are going to play here and they changed the grass two days ago.

“We didn’t play on a decent court. It was similar to Arabia but with the difference that we played there on a suitable field. It can not be like this.”
