NRK Experts Protest Lack of Field Water Ahead of Brazil-Norway Match

Just two hours before kickoff, NRK analysts Andrine Hegerberg and Kristoffer Løkberg stood on the field at a New Jersey stadium and voiced their disappointment over the lack of watering. Hegerberg noted it was "very surprising" and that FIFA’s strict hydration rules should have ensured the pitch was watered several times before the match and warm‑ups. Løkberg warned that the dry conditions would make the ball skitter, potentially affecting both the favored Brazil side and the Norwegian team, who rely on a ball that moves quickly across the field. solvita.blog
