The United States Women’s National Soccer Team (USWNT) had their friendly against Trinidad and Tobago in Hawaii called off yesterday due to poor playing conditions. The turf at Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium was deemed unplayable as the USWNT backed out of their friendly, which is part of the team’s Victory Tour following their 2015 World Cup win.
USWNT forward Alex Morgan and head coach Jill Ellis were infuriated over the pitch conditions, Morgan going to the extent of calling the turf conditions “horrible.” One of the most popular faces of the USWNT, Morgan vented her frustrations at US Soccer’s preferential treatment of the men’s team over their female counterparts.
