"This is what this tournament was about, it wasn't about getting results, yes they are important and we want to win every game we go into but looking at the overall big picture this tournament was to prepare ourselves for the World Cup and that's what we're firmly focussed on."

So far the former right-hand man to Ange Postecoglou has implemented small changes to the squad's style of play including an emphasis on keeping possession and playing it out from the back at all costs. 

This style works wonders against teams who are willing to give the Matildas space but when teams press them as Argentina did, then passing has to be 100 per cent accurate or the ball will be lost in important areas. 

It's was always known that the 44-year-old wouldn't have a lot of time to prepare ahead of the World Cup. 

The Matildas have just 93 days until their first group match against Italy in Valenciennes with just one more friendly on the cards at the moment, that being against the USA next month.

There are high expectations for Australia heading into France. The Matildas are currently ranked in the top 10 in the world and have reached the quarter-finals of the last three World Cups.

However, Milicic as assured that the side will be ready come June 9.

"Make no mistake by the time the World Cup starts this will be a well-prepared side," Milicic said.
