This week, Mark and Jorge check in on the latest World Cup qualifiers and where things stand heading into the tournament.

They ask whether Italy is still a true football giant, revisit a rivalry 12 years in the making, and get into some of the new rules that could be coming to the World Cup as well as the Wenger offside proposal.
