Lost track of how many players have lost their footing this tournament resulting in no contact injuries. Messi's ankle was the size of a bowling ball. As far as security in organising an event and the state of the officiating, this is on CONEMBOL, no? Heat was always going to be a problem. They were playing in the US in the middle of the summer. The problem with pitches is that they were using NFL stadiums. Many NFL stadiums use artificial turf. At Copa América, some stadiums were natural grass, but several had artificial turf, in which layers of temporary grass had been laid over the field.
