Rog and Rory Smith break down a dramatic end to qualifying across the globe. They start with Italy’s stunning playoff collapse and what it says about the future of one of football’s traditional powers, before turning to Turkey’s growing threat and what it means for the USA ahead of their group stage meeting. From there, the focus widens to stories like Iraq’s emotional return and DR Congo’s breakthrough underline both the chaos and meaning of qualification. Plus, England’s attacking questions and whether Max Dowman could factor into the squad. Presented by Christopher Ward.
