The Norway national football team is critical of the grass on World Cup venues. Manager Ståle Solbakken believes the grass can be a challenge and they need to find a solution at their training facility in Greensboro. Solbakken said that the grass was dry and that there was no excuse, but that it was still a factor that could affect the game. Norway plays two of its group stage matches in Boston, where the grass is a mix of engrapp and raigras. Researchers believe that this grass is better suited to cooler climates. Ståle Solbakken discussed with the groundskeeper at Norway's training facility in Greensboro, where there is bermudagrass. He revealed that they discussed the millimeters and that they had to find a solution to get the grass to work better. The sprinklers also go frequently on the training facility. Martin Ødegaard said that it was dry on the field and that it was difficult to control the ball. Carl-Erik Torp believes that it was a small scandal in terms of watering and that it is important for playing conditions. The Norway national football team must find a solution to the grass problem in order to perform well in the World Cup. They have already received a warning against Iraq and must now find a way to overcome the grass. Ståle Solbakken believes that they must be innovative and find a solution that works for them. The Norway national football team has a big challenge ahead of them, but they are determined to make the best of the situation.
