NRK's football experts Andrine Hegerberg and Kristoffer Løkberg expressed surprise at the lack of pitch watering just hours before the Brazil vs Norway match in New Jersey. "It's very surprising," Hegerberg noted, mentioning FIFA's strict rules about pitch maintenance.
The experts suggested the dry conditions could affect ball behavior, potentially benefiting either Brazil or Norway depending on their playing style. "If it's as dry as it is now, the ball will lie very low," Løkberg observed. forestarrow.help
