Ben Gannon-Doak insists the Scotland squad is "the most ready" it has been to succeed on the World Cup stage.
The Bournemouth winger was the star of the show in Scotland's opening win over Haiti, using his electrifying pace to give Steve Clarke's side a dynamic edge.
The 1-0 victory has given the Scots a solid platform, with Morocco on Friday in Boston up next.
A point from the remaining two games will almost certainly be enough to secure Scotland's historic progression from the group stage.
"We know how good the next two opponents are, but we are very confident we can do it," said Gannon-Doak of Morocco and Brazil.
"We have a very experienced squad with very accomplished players. It's probably the most ready we've felt as a squad."
Reflecting on his own individual preparations for facing Haiti, he added: "In the lead-up to the game I have my phone on do not disturb. I don't want to think about the occasion.
"I need to think about it like I'm playing football in the park. I've been playing footie all my life.
"I wasn't nervous, we trained very well so for me, the only time there was nerves was the national anthem. That wasn't nerves about playing, that was butterflies."
