Corners of this field are rounded, it seems? I have a vague memory that years ago I saw on TV news that Americans were playing soccer indoors in a tiny field like this but maybe the walls weren't transparent, and I thought that Americans were weird.
And that reminds me of the days of the original New York Cosmos, that's maybe 35 or 40 years ago? They signed with Pele and Beckenbauer, Pepsi was doing a campaign in Japan where the bottle caps work as lottery tickets, and lucky winners would be invited to one New York Cosmos game in NYC. As young kids playing soccer at a local club, we'd buy Pepsi after practice sessions whenever we had some coins (despite the coach's discouragement) for one spring or maybe summer, it was substantial money for us and we of course wasted our money away but it was fun!
Strange that one picture somehow triggers the flashback of these things, I now remember the faces of team mates and coaches even though their names were lost in memory.
