After last week's draw, we're joined by Bassil Mikdadi from Football Palestine to answer your questions: who got the toughest/easiest draw? What can Palestine achieve? Can Indonesia fly the flag for SE Asia? PLUS... we hear directly from Australia's Graham Arnold and China's Branko Ivankovic to get their immediate reaction to the draw.

In trying circumstances we are joined by Bassil Mikdadi from Football Palestine to look ahead to Palestine's FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, and how the ongoing war is impacting the national football team. We also tackle all the major talking points ahead of the second round of FIFA World Cup qualifying: Can China survive? What should we expect from Asia's biggest nations? Is now the time for strength or experimentation? Can Paulo Bento turn around the UAE? Is Saudi Arabia's poor form cause for concern? PLUS....much more!

As the Israel-Gaza war intensifies, we examine the stance taken by football and some of its key protagonists. Following the row over the decision not to light the Wembley arch in Israeli colours - and fans being urged not to bring Palestinian flags into stadiums - what considerations are clubs, players and governing bodies having to make when responding to an international crisis? And what geopolitical forces are influencing those decisions? Does football and its star players have a moral obligation to use their power and influence in global affairs – or should it stay out of politics all together? Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Prof Simon Chadwick, Jacob Steinberg & Bassil Mikdadi
