This one being a two stager, and, a short turnaround after yesterday is helpful, less time for them to overthink the situation and put unnecessary pressure on themselves.
If they can get the result, I think the pressure is off of the team collectively and you'll see them challenge for that last spot and at least get into the qualifier.
Again, I think anything short of a World Cup berth is disappointing even if that's unreasonable, but they need to learn how to win when it matters, consistentently, and being already deemed to participate in 2026 doesn't help that mentality in the next 4 years or even 8 years.
