Given how the AWs once again failed to score, and the points people made about the difference between OFC and non-OFC opposition, I had a look at all the games since the Mexico playoffs. There's been 46 games since, 16 against OFC, and in those 16 we have 13 wins, three draws and no defeats, with 42 goals for and 5 against (2.6 for and 0.3 against per game). Conversely, in those other 30 we have only six wins, seven draws and 17 defeats, with 19 goals for and 39 against (0.63 for and 1.3 against per game). On average, the ranking of OFC teams when played was 168.8, compared to 68.8 average ranking of the other 30, so unsurprising there's such a difference.
Splitting it by confederation shows how how poor our European record is, losing all 6 games with only one goal and 12 against. Even against Asian teams, where we've had the most success with four wins and three draws out of 12, we average less than a goal a game for and have a negative goal difference. The only positive GD outside of OFC is in three games against African teams, with two for and one against.
63A66C10-4277-4E87-8E7A-5BFB7510BCFD.png38.78 KB By ranking, we only break positive with teams above 76 in the rankings. Below that we have no victories, only four draws and 13 defeats. We only break two goals per game on average against teams ranked higher than 151. Basically paints a picture that we are competitive (or at least have been) around 80th in the world. 53FF541F-2DC6-4A95-935E-5B71ED08AF46.png36.61 KB
Just for measure, I also worked out the all time production of our attacking players that have played since the Peru games and that are still professionals, given how lost it appears outside of Wood at times. (Un)surprisingly, Chris Wood is the only player to have more than one goal against non-OFC opposition, with 13. Barbarouses and Rojas' production is also fairly poor, but that's probably because of the larger sample size meaning they've regressed to the mean more so than the guys with less minutes.
