Which day is it a fact of, when you post it at 3am?
“What the world needs is more geniuses with humility; there are so few of us left.”
I'm familiar with Tromsø, I looked up information on the club when Stamatopoulos was loaned to us on August 3rd 2007. The team has lost once at home in the last 3 years or something because the pitch is frozen half the time. Maybe if TFC' s home record is like theirs, reporters will stop complaining and be satisfied (see today's news thread).
....and I bet you they have a grass pitch!
What, no love for FC Malamuk? They play in the Coca Cola GM, Greenland's top (probably only) league. Their home city of Uummannaq is a full degree north of Tromsø. They are sponsored by Carlsberg, maybe we'll play them for the Carlsberg Cup.

According to wiki, their stadium is 2000 capacity, but the city only has 1500 population. Sounds like Hoffenheim Though it does say all league games are played in Nuuk (capital).

Apparently the surface isn't grass, nor astroturf, but dirt.

Actually, the pitch at Alfheim Stadion is field turf, though grass lines were artificially drawn on. Even with the effects of the Gulf Stream moderating the climate in Norway, Tromso is just too far north (69.5 degrees) to support a proper grass pitch.

so it doesnt bother anyone that the MLS assigned a ref from illinois to referee a match between a team from illinois and a team from a different country
The 4th official for the match, Silviu Petrescu has refereed a number of our games in the past, and he lives in Waterloo.
I guess in the MLS, it just 'happens'. Deal with it.
