But some pretty good dribbling and passing, not all long ball humps you’d expect with the pitch like that
Thought there was also a surprising lack of homicidal sliding tackles….

I don't believe that it is a pitch. It looks more like a cow field.

I've played on pitches like that years ago, at pub level you had psycho players tackling you, trying to be a cross between Chopper Harris and Franz Klammer.
I used to try and hide.

Some great players in that West Ham team and they were English/British.
Playing in typical football conditions in those days.
That first goal did look offside, but without all the different camera angles and no VAR, it was difficult to tell.

I'm sure I've seen worse in the UK, it's just that Johnny Foreigner has no idea of how you play on a poor pitch.

No footage but I recall us playing Nuneaton Borough a couple of times in the Cup through the 90s/00s.
