The Argentina national team slammed the pitch at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium for the inaugural match of the 2024 Copa América on Thursday night, with goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez calling the newly installed grass surface a "disaster" and manager Lionel Scaloni saying it was "better that we won."

"The state of the pitch was a disaster," the Aston Villa goalkeeper said.
