I dont understand the rationale either, we dont play better games because the better teams dont want to come here to play us, the can travel less and have better games at their doorstep. The better teams also dont want to play someone as low as us. So to get better games we have to get higher in the rankings and somehow closer to the teams we want to play - remembering our closest neighbour cannot make time to come play us unless we beg.
I'm sure if we played the likes of China and other Asian based teams more often we'd get wins and move up the rankings, but they are very busy in their own qualifying cycle to even want to play friendlies against us.
