History for Ranix

I think you have to like the statement from Mayne that you play poorly (Game 1) you will be dropped regardless of who you are. Plenty of competition for places blah blah. Sends the right message.

But yeah shouldn't get too excited. Venezuela down at 51st (6th best in  CONMEBOL)

Matildas beat Argentina (FIFA ranked 33rd) in their 2nd game, 4-1 in Canberra in front of a 25,000 sell out.

I understand using Australia as a comparison as they are our closest neighbour. But three of there players just won the Champions League with there club. They also got like 40,000 fans or something at that game against Argentina. Stuff we can only dream of. I'm not sure its very useful comparing us to Australia.
Got to celebrate the wins against non OFC opposition when they come, no matter who they are.
