Fifa facing legal fight in its decision to hold the Women's World Cup on astro turf. A hazard, and an insult http://gu.com/p/4x493/tw
@flora_maclean Why an insult? Men's World Cup games have been played on artificial pitches.

@flora_maclean Apologies, it was a Euros qualifier that England played on plastic pitch. Still, it's going to be common at all levels soon. -
@bazzacollins Hopefully not! Always end up with bloody knees and arms after a game on artificial turf! -
@flora_maclean For what it's worth, I agree the women's game is treated badly. I'm just not sure the 3G pitches is an example of that.
