With the international break showing no sign of coming to an end, it's up to James Richardson, Barry Glendenning, Paul MacInnes and Fernando Duarte to liven up your Monday with this edition of Football Weekly.
We begin by glossing over England's 8-0 hammering of San Marino and focusing instead on the much stiffer test that awaits Roy Hodgson's injury-hit squad in Montenegro.
Failure to win that game could see England head to the play-offs in their bid to qualify for World Cup 2014 – where, as Sid Lowe explains, they could be joined by Spain. The world and European champions had a tough time of it against Finland and face a must-win clash with France – a game you can watch in all its live and legal glory here on the Guardian.
Next, we wrap up some of the other highlights from the global game, including the snowiest game ever between USA and Costa Rica and Mario Balotelli's screamer as Italy came from two down to draw with Brazil.
Finally, we celebrate Phil Brown's return to the big(gish) time at Southend and wonder whether Norwich fans will be able to come up with a chant for new signing Ricky van Wolfswinkel.
