Despite the team’s 2-0 win over Canada in the opening game of the 2024 Copa America, Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has blamed the turf at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia, US.
Recall Julian Alvarez opened the scoring in the 49th minute before Lautaro Martinez netted the second goal in the 88th minute to give Argentina the maximum points.

However, in a chat with Gaston Edul, Scaloni stated that the venue was unsuitable for this level of competition.
“We have known for 7 months that we are going to play here, and they changed the grass two days ago.
“We didn’t play on a decent court.” It was similar to Arabia, but with the difference that we played there on a suitable field. It canhere not be like this.”
