The Philippines (W) struggle against top-tier opponents
The Philippines women have a more modest record over the longer term - five wins, four defeats and one draw from their last ten official matches reflects the team's inconsistency against stronger opponents in the tournament. Their average of just 0.9 goals per game is low, and defensively they concede fairly regularly, shipping close to two goals per match according to the same ten-game sample.
