Impact v. Timbers final score?

OK guys, you don't like to admit it and are obviously very sensitive when reminded but the SS pitch is a complete disaster and until it becomes properly established and ready for the big time international games should be played elsewhere, even the FieldTurf at BMO Field would be a much better option.

You apparently don't read Richard. The pitch deteriorated about halfway through the season and Mpenza and I were the ones posting about that. I posted before the Canada match that the pitch was going to be a disaster. On the other hand lets not ignore that for the first half of the season the pitch was world class. Then a combination of poor weather and overuse ruined it. I think next year the Impact will have a better plan in place for caring for and maintaining the pitch. You are up to your usual tricks Richard, trolling and trying to piss people off and harping on one of your four themes that comprise all of your posts, artificial turf being better than grass (the other three themes being any fun and colourful behaviour is immature, making money is the prime reason for sports, life, etc. and Canada content on club teams is unimportant). Can't recall you ever making a post referring the national team and it's games. Did you even watch the Canada-Honduras game?

You guys are so sensitive about your precious SS pitch and don't like any criticism, I understand. In a season or two with careful nurturing and limited usage it will be good but right now it is an embarrassment.

The pitch at Saputo Stadium is an embarassment right now, just like many other aspects in and around the facility (security, crowd management, etc.). We've said it in the past and will continue to voice our displeasure until everything is settled.
