SYDNEY : Philippines coach Alen Stajcic will take his inexperienced squad into the Women's World Cup hoping a year-and-a-half spent exposing his players to the rigours of the international scene will ensure his team are competitive in their tournament debut.
"We traversed the globe last year and played 30 internationals, and this year we've already played nine," former Australia coach Stajcic told Reuters of his team's preparations. "We've added all those bits in and now there's obviously fine tuning, but we've put in a lot of work over a long period of time, all the staff and players together."
Few, though, have featured at the top end of the women's game and that lack of exposure means they will be unfancied when they go into their group games against the Swiss, Norway and tournament co-hosts New Zealand.
