There is no doubt that the ongoing Copa América is an important test for the United States as the country strives to host another World Cup. The last World Cup to be held in the US was in 1994, but this time it will be shared with Canada and Mexico.
However, the stadiums in the US are primarily designed for American football. As a result, they are much narrower than normal and are within the legal limit. In contrast to the stadiums used for the World Cup, they are FOUR meters narrower, resulting in over 400 square meters less playing surface.
The worst news is that many venues cannot be expanded. For example, Arrowhead Stadium, where the United States played Uruguay yesterday, gave a very worrying picture.
The main test comes from Exploria Stadium in Orlando, which was scaled down during this Copa América to match other stadiums that cannot be scaled up. This photo highlights the difference by showing the lines that have been erased.
Do you think this will affect the game at the next World Cup?
