It has to be FIFA Approved Field Turf. Montreal didnt have it, theirs is less than a week old, and I think McMahon's is older than me. I played on it for a provincial tournament as a kid and its crap. They may have changed it recently but I still doubt its FIFA approved and new turf ain't cheap. That field surface probably cost well over $100 Grand.
Well played game by Poland, no doubt there. They analyzed their opponent's strengths and successfully neutralized them for the entire game. Not the prettiest play ever, but they got 3 points which is whats important.
Very impressive, and, as a Brazil fan, I'm looking forward to them really coming out of the gates hard for their next two games. That should be great to watch, not to mention this really shifts the dynamic of the group.
Now we just have to wait for the Argentina game later today.
