Matildas coach Ante Milicic says Australia's domestic women's national league needs further support if the national team is to keep up.

After the opening round of World Cup matches, Matildas coach Ante Milicic has seen enough to know the W-League needs to lift if Australia is to stay competitive on the global level.

European entries Sweden, Netherlands, Italy, England, Spain, Germany, France and Norway all won their opening matches.The only Europeans to miss out were Scotland, defeated by rivals England. "I've seen it with my own eyes. When I went to Italy and I saw Juventus, Fiorentina, Milan play. I see football," he said.

"We also had a visit to the Dutch KNVB and we look at what their team had to train in every day and have a camp, have a base.Asked whether the W-League needs to increase standards to keep up, he said"100 per cent".

But Milicic was the guy who singlehandedly ruined it.

The Team was doing fine, more than keeping up until they sacked Stajcic. There had been no complaints about him. The players were happy. Now they are confused. Confused players don’t win.
