Would someone please explein to me why the Leed-Spartak game is postponed, I know it freezing in russia now, but it was cold in Kiev yesterday and that dindn't provent Real from playing, but yet PANSEY Leeds dont want to play. Or atleast the match could of been resceduald for a later date somewhere in Russia but "NO" says Uefa "It Must Be Played In Bulgaria" says uefa, tell me how many Moskow fans will be in Sofia?

The pitch was frozen solid in Moscow. Not hard ground, frozen solid. Do you know how easy it is to get injured playing on that?

The Dinamo stadium is not the only stadium
in Moscow and if all the pitches were in the same condition then the game could be played in other city. It is not that cold in all over Russia you know. However, if this game to be played in neutral venue then both games should be played in neutral venue.

BTW
Leeds already used that 'neutral venue' trick
on Partizan this season.

yes, that really sucks, but if I am not wrong I think that stadium at Kyev got undersoil heating.

And one more thing, Kyev and Real were playing with red ball, and where was that red ball on game between Slovenia and Ukraine.

All the stadiums in Russian Premier League
has undersoil heatings. It is on ofa regulations of the Russian Premier League
that every stadium has undersoil heating.

I was too amazed how could the Ukranians play with white ball in a match full of snow and then play with orange ball when the pich had only few white spots.

Well, I remember once, about 2-3 years ago, how Switzerland Sion players were measuring Lokomotiv stadium's goals and postponed the match. They asked for a win 3:0, but UEFA gave the only rematch. Funny, but in rematch, Spartak beat them 5:1.

I don't think that UEFA had to postpone the game, but I remember my friend breaking the leg when we played soccer on frozen field.
