Brazil-Norway Pitch Surprise

NRK experts Andrine Hegerberg and Kristoffer Løkberg expressed surprise that the pitch for the Brazil vs Norway match wasn't being watered before kickoff. "It's very surprising," said Hegerberg, noting FIFA has strict rules that should be followed.

Hegerberg wished more watering had occurred before the match and warm-up, while Løkberg suggested the dry conditions would cause the ball to "lugge very much." He noted that while Brazil might prefer the dry conditions, Norway could benefit from a faster, floating ball. rouesnews.click
