Their male counterparts have always played the World Cup on natural grass surfaces, and will for the foreseeable future.The players say they believe there is a greater risk of injury on turf and that an artificial surface impacts both how the game is played and how the ball behaves.Among the athletes joining Wambach are U.S. teammate Alex Morgan, Germanys Nadine Angerer, Brazils Fabiana Da Silva Simoes and Spains Veronica Boquete.The gifted athletes we represent are determined not to have the sport they love be belittled on their watch.

They sent a letter to FIFA and the CSA in July, saying they were prepared to take the legal action.Since then, there has been growingg support for the women on social media, with celebrities including actor Tom Hanks and NBA player Kobe Bryant joining the cause.ddddddddddddTim Howard, the goalkeeper for the U.S. mens team, also voiced his support on Twitter.Theres so many different debates around this.

The real stuff was rolled onto the artificial surface at Michigans Big House this summer for a match between Manchester United and Real Madrid.Its not ideal, they say, but better than the alternative.Is it going to cost them a little bit of money? Yeah. Maybe a drop in the bucket for FIFA for the amount of money that they have, U.S. player Megan Rapinoe said last month.
