@TPO: Don’t you think that statement is part of what hinders progress? Why would you rather compare yourself to mediocrity? Why must I look at other failures to feel good about my own failures? Progress means identifying my failures & then looking up to others who have succeeded and then adjusting my methods to surpass those who are better! Not staying in the same position for 40 years because - well others around me have failed.
Maybe if we stop trying to import everything, including playing field grass from Europe & rather develop ours that is adaptable to our climatic conditions- who knows maybe the thing wouldn’t fall off after 20 minutes of play!!
…and oh, by the way, I can point out stadia around Africa that have been hosting games for 30 years & yet with much better playing ground (start with our neighbors- Nigeria)
