I just wish Neymar could have been on the pitch to enjoy the drubbing along with his teammates.

Why do Americans fell compelled to use the British term “pitch” instead of field when talking about soccer? The Brazilians sure don’t. Nor the Germans, Spanish, or any other country around the world. I wonder how many soccer hipsters realize the word is borrowed from cricket?
