    Malaysia will appeal FIFA’s ruling that banned seven players for falsifying documents to gain eligibility for the national team. FIFA’s disciplinary report revealed the players’ claimed Malaysian ancestry was fabricated, with roots actually in Spain, Argentina, Brazil, and the Netherlands.
    The players received 12-month bans and fines, while FAM was hit with a 350,000 Swiss franc penalty. FAM said it already prepared documents to support its appeal and will file promptly. The controversy threatens to destabilize Malaysian football, as the national team risks losing key squad members for an extended period.

    Ex-England striker Michael Owen has warned that the Three Lions could struggle at the 2026 World Cup due to ageing stars, dips in form, and harsh conditions in North America. He doubts Tuchel’s squad is improving compared to recent years.
    Owen noted Kane and Stones are past their peak, Walker will be absent, and players like Foden haven’t maintained prior levels. He also flagged squad depth issues in defence and concerns over fitness in hot U.S./Mexico conditions. Tuchel’s challenge will be building chemistry around younger talents like Bellingham and Saka while phasing out fading veterans.

    Wayne Rooney branded calls for Ange Postecoglou’s sacking at Nottingham Forest “absolutely crazy,” urging fans and ownership to give him time. Forest remain winless in seven matches under Postecoglou, sparking chants for Nuno Espirito Santo’s return and speculation that the international break could trigger a review of his future.
    Rooney argued that Forest’s struggles stem from a drastic tactical shift and poor board-level decisions rather than Postecoglou’s ability. He highlighted positive moments against Burnley and Real Betis, saying fans need patience with a coach who “has won trophies everywhere he’s been.” Owner Evangelos Marinakis will reportedly review the situation ahead of Forest’s October 18 clash with Chelsea, a fixture that could determine Postecoglou’s fate.

    With Bellingham, Foden, and Grealish omitted, Saka’s return offers Tuchel a creative spark. The winger has three goals in seven appearances this season and stressed his desire to stay fit and become a regular starter for the Three Lions moving forward.
