Recent wins against Ecuador and Poland pushed us back into top 10 of world ranking (friendlies do count toward that, just less than competative games). It helped that we had much more enthusiasm than our opponents. I can either schedule another strong partner and bump it up even more, or I can start scouting early, drop enthusiasm, schedule easier oppoennts (or harder but just lose games trying out different tactics), and start discussion about next season's roster early.
I am leaning toward option #2 so not all of the work is congested within one week, but I will let everyone state their opinion
