Major criticism for the World Cup stadium, players complain

MetLife Stadium, one of the main World Cup venues, has been the focus of criticism over the quality of the pitch. After the first matches played there, some players have expressed dissatisfaction with the playing conditions.

Adrien Rabiot, after France's 3-1 victory over Senegal, stated that the surface needed improvement and was too hard.

Vinicius Junior also commented on the condition of the pitch after the 1-1 draw between Brazil and Morocco, noting that the high temperatures were affecting the drying of the pitch.

According to him, this situation slowed down the pace of the game and made it difficult to circulate the ball. For the World Cup, the stadium replaced the artificial turf with natural grass, but the results have not been as expected.

Complaints about the quality of the field are not new, as players from the New York Giants and New York Jets have raised similar concerns for years. Organizers have faced pressure to improve conditions ahead of upcoming tournament games.
