It can only change. We will be playing against teams ranked higher than us so good results will mean more for ranking points. As oppose to before where we would be playing games against lowly ranked teams. Forever the optimist I am!

Which illustrates the point that you need to play games to get points (they will have collected points from the qualifiers they just played) - which is never going to be great for the All Whites - bc we play very few friendlies, let alone FIFA qualifying matches.
 
Kinda ridiculous that we got a bye through the initial Oceania qualifying round based on our higer ranking - yet by the time we actually enter the qualifying process we are the lowest ranked team

Those rankings won't count for much when we smash Samoa 10-0.
