Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022: England penalty routine, Cristiano Ronaldo future, Elon Musk Twitter

Gareth Southgate doesn't want his players to practice penalties without goalkeepers as they can save them too many times. England lost the Euro 2020 final on penalties to Italy. Gareth Southgates' team beat Colombia in a penalty shootout at the last World Cup. England have won just two penalties from nine shootouts at major tournaments since Euro 96. Aaron Ramsdale, 24, is a goalkeeper. He would never let his team practice in front of goalkeeping.

Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 is being planned.

Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to play in the World Cup in Qatar. He is expected to leave Manchester United after an explosive interview with Piers Morgan. The A-League has registered an interest in signing Ronaldo. Ronaldo's former teammate Nani is currently playing for Melbourne Victory.

Qatar will host the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Betting turnover on the World Cup will be in the billions of dollars. The Olympics is not as popular as the FIFA World cup. Football is a mature betting market in Europe. It is popular with casual punters and professional. The World Cups kick-off is three hours ahead of Britain and two hours before Western Europe, which is good for bookmakers. William Woodhams, CEO of Fitzdares, believes the in-play market will increase during the games. He believes it will probably be the first World cups where the live betting is at least one third of the total bets.

Elon Musk is the new owner of Twitter. He has tweeted about the Qatar World Cup. Twitter is not listed as an official media licensee of the World cup.

Denmark manager Kasper Hjulmand hopes the World Cup in Qatar will spark reforms in football. Denmark has been a vocal critic of Qatar's hosting of the tournament due to its human rights record. FIFA last week dismissed Denmark's request to wear training shirts bearing the slogan "Human Rights for All" in the country. The players supported the football association's approach. The government and royal family have said they will not attend the showpiece. Leeds United player Rasmus Kristensen supports the players' decision to not wear the training jerseys with the message "human rights"

There is a gap in Qatar's World Cup 2022 plans.

There is a hole in a walkway near the Lusail Iconic Stadium. The stadium is set to host 10 games, including the final on 18 December. It is the biggest venue at the World Cup. The tournament kicks off on Sunday.

Rod Stewart turned down a $1 million offer to play in Qatar. Dua Lipa has also refused to perform. Shakira's team recently announced she won't be performing in the World Cup.  

US rapper Lil Baby has 32 million monthly listens on Spotify. He has released one of the official sponsorship songs this year, "The World Is Yours to Take". He hasn't confirmed if he will make an appearance in Qatar.

Bernd Neuendorf is angry with FIFA's statements in the run-up to the World Cup in Qatar. Neuradf's Germany captain Manuel Neuer will wear a "One Love" armband to promote diversity and inclusion. FIFA told the 32 participating teams to focus on football and avoid ideological battles. Germany play their first game of the tournament against Japan on November 23.
