Re: [nas] UEFA Goes For Fake

This went over like a lead ballon on one of the coaches lists that I post on. I 
myself did not have a problem with it because I think field turf is an okay 
surface. Maybe because for years my team played on astroturf a truly bad 
surface that had a downward tilt from a yard before the touch line for 
drainage. It was an art to play on it well.
