In the Turkish cup they didn’t play strong, well ranked oppositions so this in a way affected their rankings not going up.
With a coach like randy now we should be playing second class European teams now not African teams or the Asian teams we are ranked higher than.
Now is the time to prepare for the 2023 women’s world cup.
