PIC: Sack the groundsman because this is the worst-lined football pitch of all time

It's not even close to being right.

The country might well be champions of the world but its local football needs an awful lot of work. An image surfacing of a pitch in Germany is almost too strange to be believed. It's almost too out of shape to be a football pitch. The Leaning Field of Grona is well on its way to joining Andrea Pirlo's right boot as one of the wonders of the soccer world. Based in the village of Grona (obviously), north of Leipzig, the pitch is so out of shape that one end of the field is 10 feet longer than the top. But, rather than work with what they have and make a narrower - and, heck, maybe even a straight pitch - they've gone for one perfect byline and sacrificed the rest - you know, the other 99 per cent - of the pitch as they squashed it into an almost triangle shape. Both goals face in different directions and neither box runs parallel with the half way line in this alternative universe of Grona. The satellite image of the pitch was posted by German newspaper, Bild, and it is truly a sight to behold. Spare a thought for the left winger though who somehow has to attack the narrow end in both halves.
