The pitch in Basel

[Donna Ferentes]

Does not look in great condition: as if they'd laid it recently using fairly poor grass.

pretty sure one of the comentators siad at the start of France-Italy that they were re-laying the grass at Basel.

Could hjave made that up, mind.

I heard it on motd the night before the portugal/germany game that thats what they did. Only been relayed very recently cause something had to be done, they should've done it a bit earlier though if it was that desperate. Now all the quarter finals have to be played on that don't they? Ridiculous.

Er, seems tonights match isn't in Basel, thought it was. Ah well, they still should've relayed the pitch earlier than when they did.

It did look like a patchwork quilt compared to the other pitch they were playing on.

I think it has to do two more games: Netherlands v Russia and a semi-final.
