LONDON - The men's World Cup could be played ""sooner rather than later"" on artificial turf Donte DiVincenzo Bucks Jersey , FIFA said Wednesday in the latest defense of its decision not to stage the 2015 women's tournament in Canada on grass.

World football's governing body is on the defensive after a discrimination case was launched by some female players, who claim that men would never be asked to play matches at the sport's biggest event on anything but real grass.

But FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke maintains that the Canadian climate - and not gender - was behind the decision on the playing surface.

""It would be very difficult to ensure solid natural-grass pitches at all venues,"" Valcke said in an interview with FIFA's website. ""This is not a question of money, or of differences between men's and women's events D. J. Wilson Bucks Jersey , but it is a matter of the natural conditions in Canada: we want to guarantee consistent top-level playing conditions for all 24 teams during the event.""

Valcke pointed to the FIFA rules permitting any tournament to be played on artificial grass if it is of the ""highest quality"" and used at every venue.

""It could well be that sooner rather than later the men's World Cup will also be played on artificial pitches,"" Valcke said.

FIFA turf consultant Eric Harrison said the severe Canadian winter made artificial turf more suitable to that climate.

""During the long winter months, the natural turf is dormant and only can begin the recovery process after winter is over,"" Harrison said on FIFA's website.

""The effects of frost ... can leave many natural turf surfaces uneven Vin Baker Jersey , requiring extensive re-leveling,"" he added. ""Often, it is not until JulyAugust that the natural turf has recovered sufficiently to be deemed to be in optimum condition.""

Hampton Dellinger, the attorney for the female players who filed the gender-equity case in Canadian court Tony Snell Jersey , pointed out that the next two World Cups _ Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022 _ will be played on natural grass.

He said that Valcke's climate argument ""is astounding given that Russia and Qatar boast their own equally, or even more, difficult weather conditions. The natural grass pitch at BMO Field in Toronto certainly appears to do just fine during the summer months when the World Cup is staged.""

Canada's bid for the event stipulated that the final be played at Vancouver's BC Place, which seats 55 Thon Maker Jersey ,000 and has an artificial turf. Every match at the June 6-July 5 tournament has to be played on the same surface.

The Canadian Soccer Association on Tuesday denied allegations that it pressured players to drop their lawsuit. Dellinger has accused the CSA of relegating the world's best female players to ""game-changing, dangerous and demeaning conditions.""

The group of players who filed a human rights complaint against FIFA and the CSA includes Germany's Nadine Angerer, Japan's Yuki Ogimi and Americans Shannon Boxx, Sydney Leroux Ray Allen Jersey , Alex Morgan and Abby Wambach.

" Summer vacation is a wonderful time to get away from it all-a cruise, a camping trip or even an African safari-an opportunity to take yourself miles away from ordinary...
But did you know that the average person gains almost a pound a day while on vacation?
That's right! Lazy vacation days usually lead to one dreaded thing: extra pounds. From missed workouts to large restaurant meals, travel days often become high calorie days.
As you embark on your next vacation adventure keep the following tips in mind, and come home fitter than when you left!
TIP #1: Be Active
If your travels keep you too busy for a workout Oscar Robertson Jersey , or if your hotel does not have an exercise room, make a conscious effort to be active everyday. Go on a brisk walk after your day's activities. This is a great way to see a new city, and also a great way to burn off that rich dinner you just ate! Take the stairs instead of elevator in your hotel and any other buildings you visit. Go on a short jog in the mornings or evenings of your stay. If your hotel has a pool, swim a few laps each morning or evening.
TIP#2: Indulge with Control
Eating out is a must while on vacation. Whether you're visiting 5 star restaurants or fast food diners Mirza Teletovic Jersey , you are faced with the same problem: large portions. While the easiest thing to do with a large portioned meal is to simply eat it all-you are on vacation after all...right?-that isn't the best for your waist!
When you order your meal ask the waiter or waitress to bring you a to-go box. Take half of your meal and place it safely into the box before you even begin to eat. This gives you no choice but to eat a healthy portion. If you would rather not carry around a to-go box then ask that your entr?e be made into a smaller portion. If it is dinnertime ask for the lunch-sized entr?e.
TIP#3: Snack Healthy
Have you ever noticed how travel days create the perfect opportunity for snacking? A coffee and muffin before your flight, a snack on the plane and then before you know it-it's lunch time! Taking a road trip? This opens up even more opportunities for regrettable snacking...rest stop vending machines, gas station quickie marts and of course the never ending string of fast food restaurants along the highway.
This summer cut unhealthy snacking off at the pass by brining along your own healthy options. Dried or fresh fruit, unsalted nuts Matthew Dellavedova Jersey , health bars, cut veggies and low fat crackers are a good start. By filling up on these healthy snacks between meals you will end up eating less when presented with a less-than-healthy meal.
TIP #4: Avoid Fried Foods
While fast food restaurants are definitely convenient, with their low prices and quick service, this convenience is not worth the additional pounds brought on by chips and fries. As you enjoy your vacation keep this in mind: avoid fried foods. While this is always good advice to follow Malcolm Brogdon Jersey , it is even more .
