The FIFA U-20 is played on FIELD TURF...

[HL]

It appears that the entire FIFA U-20 is played on Field Turf. (At least all the games i have seen).

If this is so, I think it's a good thing from several perspective...

I recall given a group tour when the MetroStars used this artificial surface at Giants Stadium. There were very little negative report from players on it's performance .

Let me hasten to say nothing beats natural surface.

Maybe this is a FIFA experiment. I read where they were testing this turf for future use for clubs and international competition. I hope it gets aproved.

SIDEBAR:
Who saw the following games: Congo v. Mexico; Nigeria v. Zambia; Argentina v. Poland. These kids are good!!!

Not all the games. It should get approved it's just like playing on a top notch grass pitch.

They used artificial turf in the U-17 tournament in Finland. What?

What?
If Turf becomes the trend--it will be a good thing.
