    So, 5 straight wins -
    In Women's senior team rankings, we are 53rd.

    Palestine (99th) - 9-0
    Jordan (60th) - 7-1
    Sri Lanka (123rd) - 7-0
    Bhutan (not ranked) - 13-0
    Iran (56th) - 1-0

    So, atleast Jordan and Iran were ranked closely to us.

    i was thinking our mens ranking and was about to say "wow excellent and exceptional"
    still some great result for these girls to get a boost to look more into this game as a career, but the question is how will they make a career of this game??
  • I am guessing the IMG Academy would take these girls. They have proven that they are really good and at there age it is the perfect time. Also unlike in Mens football, the United States are the best when it comes to Women's Soccer.
