Qatar national football team will once again be in action on Friday (November 25) as the home side will play their second game in the FIFA World Cup 2022 where they lock horns with Senegal. The home fans will be backing their national players and hope for their team to get off the mark with full points in the ongoing edition in the Middle East.&nbsp;

Thus, the match is extremely crucial for both sides if they wish to progress ahead into the mega event.&nbsp;

For the home side, it will be a tough ask to beat Senegal as the latter defended well and ensured a 0-0 scoreline versus the Dutch line-up before conceding two goals in the last few minutes of the regulation time. Meanwhile, Qataris had to struggle for ball possession in their first encounter. Hence, Senegal will be confident of upsetting the hosts and getting a win under their belt.

FIFA World Cup 2022 Broadcast TV and OTT-Live Streaming: When and where to watch Qatar vs Senegal?

Portugal opened their campaign in the FIFA World Cup 2022, in Qatar, on Thursday evening (November 24). Cristiano Ronaldo was in action on the fifth day of the mega event and saw his side edge past a competitive Ghana line-up, 3-2, to pick up full points from their Group H encounter. The match had plenty of ebbs and flows before the former Euro champions ended on top.&nbsp;

In the game, Ronaldo entered an elite list of footballers to have featured in as many as five separate World Cups. Moreover, he scored in the 65th minute, to&nbsp;create&nbsp;history by becoming the first-ever player in FIFA WC&nbsp; to score in five editions of the mega event. From Ghana, Andre Ayew and Osman Bukari struck once each but the latter made heads turn by replicating Ronaldo's iconic goal celebration. In addition, Ronaldo reacted to Bukari's celebration. Here's the video:

FIFA&nbsp;have opened&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;against&nbsp;the&nbsp;Mexican&nbsp;Football Association following&nbsp;chants&nbsp;by the country's&nbsp;fans during Tuesday's 0-0&nbsp;draw&nbsp;with&nbsp;Poland&nbsp;at the World Cup in Qatar, world soccer's governing body said on Wednesday. FIFA&nbsp;did not elaborate on the&nbsp;chants&nbsp;but&nbsp;Mexicans were heard directing abuse after&nbsp;Poland&nbsp;striker Robert Lewandowski saw his second-half penalty saved by goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.

"The&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;Disciplinary Committee has opened&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;against&nbsp;the&nbsp;Mexican&nbsp;Football Association due to&nbsp;chants&nbsp;by&nbsp;Mexican&nbsp;supporters during the Mexico v&nbsp;Poland&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;World Cup match played on 22 November," it said. "The&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;were opened on the basis of article 13 of the&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;Disciplinary Code." FIFA&nbsp;had also opened disciplinary&nbsp;proceedings&nbsp;against&nbsp;Ecuador&nbsp;over&nbsp;homophobic chanting by their&nbsp;fans in their World Cup opener&nbsp;against&nbsp;Qatar on Sunday.

FIFA&nbsp;said it has opened disciplinary proceedings against&nbsp;Ecuador&nbsp;over&nbsp;homophobic&nbsp;chanting by their fans in their World Cup opener. Ecuador&nbsp;had faced possible expulsion from the tournament after Chile complained they had fielded an ineligible player during the qualifiers. They were fined and received a points deduction for the next World Cup qualifiers but have been allowed to compete in Qatar. The player, Byron Castillo, was left out of the squad to avoid further controversy. At&nbsp;Ecuador's opening game against Qatar, to kick off the World Cup on Sunday, some among their massed ranks of yellow-clad fans sang a&nbsp;homophobic&nbsp;chant against Chileans.

"The&nbsp;FIFA&nbsp;Disciplinary Committee has opened proceedings against the&nbsp;Ecuadorean Football Association due to&nbsp;chants&nbsp;by&nbsp;Ecuadorean supporters," world football's governing body said in a statement late on Tuesday, citing article 13 of its disciplinary code. Potential sanctions in the code include playing a match without spectators or a ban on playing in a particular stadium. There was no immediate response from&nbsp;Ecuador's football federation. It has been exultantly re-tweeting images from their 2-0 win at the Al Bayt stadium.

Much to the amusement of many watching around the world,&nbsp;Ecuador&nbsp;fans also chanted "We want beer!" in reference to a controversial stadium ban on alcohol consumption at the insistence of the conservative Muslim host nation. LGBT rights have taken prominence during this World Cup, drawing some protests, as homosexuality is illegal in Qatar. Ecuador&nbsp;are joint top of Group A with the Netherlands whom they face on Friday.

Meanwhile,&nbsp;Germany will not face FIFA disciplinary action for covering their mouths in a pre-match gesture ahead of their tournament-opener versus Japan, where they shockingly lost 1-2.

Qatar World Cup: FIFA opens proceedings against Mexican FA, Ecuador fans over controversial chants

On Wednesday (November 23), Manchester United's American owners, the Glazers family, confirmed that they are aiming to explore the possible sale of the Old Trafford club; putting an end to their 17-year-long reign in the process. Now, some reports have suggested that David Beckham -- former England captain and Man United midfielder -- is open for holding talks with potential bidders with his former club up for grabs.&nbsp;

As per the Financial Times, the 47-year-old Beckham is up for entering discussions with those who are serious about a possible takeover. In return, he will offer financial and public support. In addition, it states that as Beckham would not be able to afford to buy the club himself, he is willing to become a part of an “investment consortium”. Beckham - co-owner of MLS club Inter Miami CF - has been approached by several interested parties in the past as well, however, nothing materialised out of those discussions.&nbsp;It is to be noted that the Glazers family reportedly wish to hold out for around a whopping £5billion, after their £790million purchase back in 2005.

Avram Glazer and Joel Glazer, executive co-chairmen and directors of the United, said in a statement, "As we seek to continue building on the club’s history of success, the board has authorized a thorough evaluation of strategic alternatives. It added,&nbsp;"We will evaluate all options to ensure that we best serve our fans and that Manchester&nbsp;United&nbsp;maximizes the significant growth opportunities available to the club today and in the future."

The Man United owners have been facing the heat ever since the club has been going through a barren run. They have gone five years without clinging a trophy with their last silverware coming in 2017 when they won the&nbsp;Europa League and League Cup. Last year, they finished sixth in EPL 2021/22 and failed to qualify for the Champions League. In the ongoing EPL season, the Erik Ten Hag-led United are currently at the fifth position. However, much has been said and written about the functioning of the club ever since the Dutchman took over.

Erik's strained relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo became a huge talking point in the last few months before Ronaldo's recent explosive interview with Piers Morgan led to his eventual ouster from the Old Trafford club on Tuesday (November 22). He had even claimed that his equation with the owners wasn't at its best. Amid all the drama, Beckham's inclusion might work wonders given his history with the club and his overall stature.

David Beckham up for talks with potential bidders as Man United owners planning to sell club - Report

Ever since the Qatar World Cup kicked off on Sunday (November 20), football fans across the globe have been eagerly waiting to see Cristiano Ronaldo on the field. On Thursday evening (November 24), Ronaldo will be in action as Portugal will open their campaign in the 32-nation tournament in the Middle East. Portugal will play Ghana in a Group H encounter. Anything less than a win won't be impressive for the Portuguese line-up as they are placed in a tricky group which also comprises Uruguay and South Korea.&nbsp;

Portugal are coming into the mega event on the back of a disappointing run in Euro 2020, where they bowed out in the Round of 16 with a defeat at the hands of Belgium, and ended their campaign in the UEFA Nations League after a 1-0 loss versus Spain. In the Nations League, they managed three wins, a draw and two defeats. Against their opposition in their Qatar 2022 opener, Portugal have faced them only once before and lost 1-2. The incident took place in the 2014 FIFA WC, hence, Ronaldo &amp; Co. won't be taking Ghana lightly by any means. In addition, the Portugal captain will join arch-rival Lionel Messi in an elite list when he steps on to the field; becoming one of the very few players to have appeared in five separate World Cups.&nbsp;Thus, Portugal will like to start off with a bang in Ronaldo's special encounter. Two heavyweights such as Argentina and Germany have already lost their opening ties, hence, the former Euro champions will be on their toes for a fitting start.

FIFA World Cup 2022 Broadcast TV and OTT-Live Streaming: When and where to watch Portugal vs Ghana?

After winning the three T20Is 1-0, India will lock horns with hosts New Zealand in the first of the three-match ODI series on Friday (November 25). Shikhar Dhawan will take charge of the side whereas Rishabh Pant will continue to don the deputy's hat, as he did in the T20Is with Hardik Pandya leading, as India will kick off their 2023 ODI World Cup preparations. Ahead of the series, a lot has been said and written about Pant, who hasn't impressed in the T20Is after limited opportunities in the T20 World Cup in Australia.

Thus, former Indian all-rounder Reetinder Singh Sodhi has made a big claim. The ex-cricketer feels Pant has been given a lot of opportunities in the limited-overs format but he is yet to deliver. While he did slam his maiden ODI hundred in the series win over hosts England in mid-July this year, he continues to remain unimpressive in the shortest format. In the NZ T20Is, he was given an opportunity to open the innings where he returned with 11 and 13, from five balls respectively. Hence, Sodhi feels it is time to try someone like Sanju Samson, who warmed the bench in the T20I series, as Pant has become a 'liability'.

"He (Pant) is becoming a liability for Team India.&nbsp;If it’s like this, then bring in Sanju Samson. End of the day, you got to take that chance because you cannot afford to lose and exit in World Cup or ICC tournaments," Sodhi was quoted as saying by&nbsp;India News.&nbsp;"When you give too many chances, problems arise. The time has come to provide opportunities to new guys." "Only time will tell how many opportunities and how long he gets. Time is passing and he really has to tighten his shoes. Everything has a limit. You cannot depend on one player for so long. If he is not performing, you got to show him the exit door," Sodhi added.

As per Sodhi, Pant remains a match-winner, but hasn't lived up to his tag and, hence, the selectors should take a call and look beyond him "We all know Rishabh Pant is a match-winner, but you don’t score runs. You don’t help your team win. You got the opportunity in an important event like the World Cup. I accept that initially he didn’t get the opportunity, but whenever you get a chance, your job is to perform, which has not happened. It’s time that selectors think beyond him." he concluded.

Germany&nbsp;coach Hansi Flick expressed his disappointment with FIFA's decision to ban players from wearing a "OneLove" armband at the World Cup. Speaking to media on Tuesday (November 22), the day before&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;take on Japan, Flick said his team had wanted to make the statement to promote LGBT rights, but FIFA's short-notice decision to ban the armbands before England took on Iran on Monday (November 21) meant there was no time to coordinate with the other countries.

The&nbsp;federations of England, Wales, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland,&nbsp;Germany&nbsp;and Denmark had said on Monday they had been put under pressure by FIFA, who had threatened to issue yellow cards to any player wearing the multi-coloured armband. "The team is very unhappy and shocked that something like this is not allowed because it is just a sign for human rights and diversity and they are also the values that we as a team live and represent."Flick told a news conference.

Germany&nbsp;midfielder Joshua Kimmich said while players had nothing to do with awarding the tournament to Qatar 12 years ago, he would still like to be able to enjoy the competition. The DFB earlier told Reuters it was now checking all its options following FIFA's decision.&nbsp;

It is to be noted that Germany’s football federation plans legal steps against FIFA&nbsp;over its banning of OneLove rainbow armbands as it faced the humiliating decision by one of the country’s largest supermarket chains to cut its commercial ties over the issue. Moreover, the soccer federations who had planned to don the 'OneLove'&nbsp;armbands have faced "extreme blackmail" which eventually led to them not going ahead with the gesture, the German Football Association (DFB) claimed.

During the last EPL season, he shined and scored 24 goals from 38 games but failed to guide the team to any trophy. In addition, they failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. After Man United not qualifying for the Champions League, many reports suggested that Ronaldo is looking for a switch, however, he found no takers in the transfer window. He remained part of the Erik Ten Hag-led Man United in the ongoing EPL season but failed to make a mark, with him not even being a regular in the starting line-up.&nbsp;

Following Ronaldo's explosive revelations in his interview with Morgan, where he spoke about his strained relations with the club owners and manager Erik, his fallout became a big talking point before the Portugese captain's exit. Ronaldo-starrer Portugal are currently involved in the Qatar World Cup where they open their campaign on November 24, versus Ghana.

Tiger&nbsp;Woods&nbsp;has won the PGA Tour's Player Impact Program (PIP) for a second consecutive year and with it the $15 million bonus given to the winner, according to results obtained by Reuters on Tuesday. Woods&nbsp;has played only nine rounds of golf across three majors in 2022 but remains the game's top draw as defined by the PIP, which measures a player's popularity based on five criteria like media mentions and broadcast exposure. World number one Rory McIlroy was rewarded with $12 million as the runner-up while Jordan Spieth ($9 million), Justin Thomas ($7.5 million) and Jon Rahm ($6 million) rounded out the top five, according to the memo sent to players.

Woods&nbsp;finished first in four of the five PIP categories, the only exception coming in "TV Sponsor Exposure" which measures the amount of time a player's sponsor logos appear on the screen during weekend PGA Tour telecasts. Woods&nbsp;only played three-weekend rounds this year, two at the Masters and one at the PGA Championship. The PIP was implemented in 2021 as a way to reward members who, through a series of metrics, are shown to drive the most positive interest in the PGA Tour. The program was expanded this year to include the top 20 players and $100 in total payouts, up from 10 players and $40 million last year.
