Northern Ireland striker Josh
Magennis is convinced the squad will be able to handle the pressure of
the World Cup play-off against Switzerland.
"The weight of the country is on our shoulders but we've proved before we can carry that weight," said Magennis.
"We have full confidence that we can find a way of winning these games."
Charlton striker Magennis says the squad can embrace and indeed harness the support of the Northern Ireland public as they aim to clinch the country's first consecutive qualifications for major tournaments.
Northern Ireland ended a 30-year wait for a finals appearance as they reached Euro 2016 and Magennis, 27, wants to again experience the wave of emotion which greeted that achievement.
"We didn't realise the magnitude of [qualifying for] France until we were here about to go and social media-wise and media-wise, it was just everywhere.
"What it did for the country, not just ourselves, was basically unite people for about a month. It was absolutely massive."
