Two friendlies and two official matches ahead of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers should be the prelude to a national team that seemed to have reached ecstasy by qualifying for Qatar 2022, but it's still trying to recover from the blow of being left out of the World Cup. After the failure to finish fourth in the Nations League, they will once again face the USA in a tough group, along with Uruguay.
